NDP, CUPE to hold press conference on long term care strike
HALIFAX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Nova Scotia NDP and striking CUPE long term care workers are joining together to hold a press conference early this afternoon to speak about the impact of the government’s continued refusal to negotiate a fair deal on everyday people.
“For 8 weeks, this government has ignored the calls from workers, from residents, from concerned family members that say long term care is vital, and that workers deserve a living wage,” said Long Term Care Coordinator Kim Cail. “They are ignoring constituents province-wide, and that can’t continue.”
Claudia Chender, NSNDP Leader, and Rod Wilson, MLA for Halifax-Armdale and Seniors and Long Term Care Critic, will be joined by a family member of a resident and a long term care worker. They will speak on the everyday impact this strike is having on both residents and workers alike.
DATE: June 2, 2026
TIME: Noon
LOCATION: 1909 Caldwell Rd, Dartmouth (map)
CUPE long term care workers have been on strike since April 13.
