So we&#8217;re just really wanting to hear back again from our members, and to validate and see if the mandate is still very much relevant today as it was three years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nursing shortage is exacerbating already difficult working conditions for nurses, as they are asked to work longer hours and larger amounts of overtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doucet says that the lack of a collective agreement for more than two and a half years is part of the reason why nurses aren&#8217;t looking at New Brunswick as a possible destination to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight now, sadly, we are one of the lowest paid registered nurses in the country,\u201d says Doucet. And in a time when most jurisdictions are recruiting health care workers, that comparatively low salary could be discouraging nurses from locating in New Brunswick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently the Nova Scotia PC Party won a majority government in Nova Scotia after a campaign almost solely focussed on health care, and promising increasing provincial spending to recruit health care workers. Doucet says that threw up a red flag for her. \u201cWe need to be very competitive, and if not be the leader in nurses and healthcare in the Atlantic provinces to maintain our workforce and to actually recruit more to it,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doucet can\u2019t say quantitatively why NBNU members rejected the deal, but she has theories. \u201cI think what is happening out there is that nurses are frustrated. Nurses are fed up. And they are feeling disrespected by regional health authorities and governments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRight now is like the perfect storm,\u201d says Doucet, of pandemic conditions, reduced staff numbers, and longer hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere is a level of frustration out there that I don&#8217;t know what it will take actually to to ease that frustration, apart from a little bit of recognition, respect and being renumerated fairly for the work that nurses do in this province.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doucet says the government is aware of the union meeting on August 31, and it\u2019s possible both parties could be back at the bargaining table after that. If not, there are also conciliation dates set for mid-September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere&#8217;s a lot of possibilities out there,&#8221; says Doucet. \u201cThe goal is always to reach a tentative agreement at the table, so that is still our goal for all of our negotiating teams right now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBNU president Paula Doucet is hoping that collective agreements with the union\u2019s three bargaining units will finally be in place sometime this fall.
