Nova Scotia Health Minister and unions face potential health-care strike over staffing plans and wage increases.

Nova Scotia's Health Minister, Michelle Thompson, and the Council of Health Care Unions face a possible health-care strike if ongoing negotiations fail to result in a deal. The disagreement primarily concerns staffing plans. While the government considers offering significant wage increases, unions criticize the approach, claiming the Minister is undermining the bargaining process and leaving health care workers with subpar wages. Both sides prepare to return to the negotiating table later this week.
