A message from Barbara Adams, Minister of Seniors and Long-term Care:
For many months, the Province has been working with long-term care providers in their negotiations for renewed collective agreements with CUPE. The Province has worked with these providers to put forward a strong, competitive package for employees in the sector.
It matches the deal already accepted by employees in 27 unionized long term care facilities and those working in home care and hospitals. Unfortunately in long-term care, CUPE has rejected the offer outright without giving members the opportunity to vote, despite accepting it for home care and hospitals. This is concerning, and I sincerely hope CUPE leadership reconsiders and lets members vote on a deal that impacts them directly.
You have questions, and we have answers. Visit https://novascotia.ca/cupe-updates/ to read about what is being offered to workers and additional supports beyond wages.
