N.B. Liberals promise to try and prevent nurse drain from health-care system
FREDERICTON — Health care continues to be a major issue on New Brunswick’s election campaign trail.
Liberal Leader Kevin Vickers said today in Fredericton if his party forms government, he’ll negotiate a contract for the province’s nurses that is fair, respectful and ensures workplace safety.
He says salaries must be competitive to stem the outflow of nursing graduates from the province.
The New Brunswick Nurses Union issued a statement today lamenting how its members are forced to work short-staffed and under stressful conditions.
