Workers Strike Across Nova Scotia Long-Term Care Homes

CUPE says 2,200 staff at 22 homes walk out; essential care to continue as wage talks with province falter

More than 2,200 long-term care workers at 22 Nova Scotia facilities are striking after contract talks reached an impasse, the Canadian Union of Public Employees says. The walkout, expected to begin this morning, involves continuing-care assistants, licensed practical nurses, housekeeping staff and physiotherapists. Union spokesperson Ty Loppie says members have been pushed to this action as they fight for a living wage, with bargaining covering agreements that expired in 2023. Long-term Care Minister Barbara Adams says the action will cause challenges, but essential care will continue.

In the United Kingdom, a six-day walkout by resident doctors in England is set to end at 06:59 on Monday amid a dispute over pay and jobs. Health Secretary Wes Streeting says the government did not change its deal and wants talks with the British Medical Association’s resident doctors’ committee, which says it remains open to meet. Separately, more than 100 passenger assistance workers employed by ABM at London Stansted Airport plan to strike over pay from April 17 to 20 after a 97% vote, a move expected to delay flights.

Key Insight

Healthcare labor disputes in Canada and the UK are occurring concurrently over pay, with strikes and planned walkouts affecting care settings and services.
