Long-Term Care Workers Issue Strike Notices in Nova Scotia

CUPE says four more homes could lift strikers to 3,000 as U.S. university and K–12 walkouts proceed

Four more long-term care homes in Nova Scotia issued 48-hour strike notices, potentially raising the number of striking workers from 2,400 to 3,000 if talks do not resume, the Canadian Union of Public Employees said. CUPE said workers will be on picket lines Thursday and Friday unless the government returns to bargaining after an impasse reached on March 24. Essential services are being maintained, but most physiotherapists, occupational therapists and recreational therapists are not reporting to work, and other striking workers include nurses, continuing-care assistants and housekeeping staff.

In the United States, Illinois State University employees represented by AFSCME Council 31 remain on strike into a third week with no new talks scheduled, and the union has sued the university alleging it hired temporary contractors in violation of Illinois’ Strikebreakers Act. In California’s Little Lake City School District, teachers are on strike for a fourth day and have mailed notices of intent to recall all five trustees after negotiations stalled over class sizes and midyear health care changes that could raise some monthly costs to as much as $1,400. Separately, Harvard’s graduate student workers went on strike, according to OnLabor. The actions span education and care services across North America.

Key Insight

Multiple education-sector strikes in the United States coincided this week with an expanding long-term care strike in Nova Scotia, reflecting concurrent labor activity across public services.
