McNeil says the government wants to provide wage increases to workers, but wants unions and associations to collaborate with employers to help find savings to fund the increases and improve public services.
McNeil says he doesn’t believe the association engaged in “meaningful collective bargaining.”
The province’s medical residents are represented by Maritime Resident Doctors.
