South Shore MLA Says Home Care Dispute Unnecessary

An emergency session of the Nova Scotia Legislature is on for tomorrow (Friday). MLA's have been recalled to debate possible back to work legislation for home support workers. 450 home care workers can hit the picket lines at 12:01 tomorrow morning (Friday). Queens-Shelburne NDP MLA Sterling Belliveau says the dispute should have been settled long ago to avoid a strike.



The home care workers look after nearly 2,000 people in the Halifax area and in parts of the Annapolis Valley.
