In Liverpool, Nova Scotia, long-term care employees at Queens Manor Nursing Home, who are members of Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) 2648, have unanimously voted in favor of a strike mandate. The president of CUPE 2648, Peter Howard, expressed mixed feelings about the outcome, stating that while nobody desires a strike, the workers are facing significant challenges. The vote indicates a 100% support for strike action due to concerns over inadequate wages that do not align with the cost of living and the ongoing issue of understaffing.
