Liberal Grip Tightens as Campbell Defies Unions in Health Strike
Gordon Campbell’s Liberals push to end nurses strikes with a 60 day cooling off period. The move signals a tough line against unions as Health Sciences Association members, technicians, rehab workers, and others face delayed operations and growing costs. A long term solution calls for more nurses, foreign-trained recruitment, and new nursing delivery methods. Paul Willcocks notes Campbell’s readiness to clash with organized labor.
