Nova Scotia long-term care residents and their family members are urging the province to increase its wage offer amid an ongoing strike in the long-term care sector that has entered its eighth week. Multiple reports describe how residents and families say pay and staffing remain central concerns affecting care continuity and working conditions. Families have called on the province to negotiate in a way that addresses wage demands to help stabilize the workforce. The strike continues to disrupt services across the sector, and those most directly affected—residents and caregivers—are pressing for faster movement in negotiations. The accounts focus on the request that the province raise its offer rather than on any specific details of bargaining positions beyond the wage issue. As negotiations remain unresolved, the situation persists, with residents’ families emphasizing the need for a resolution that improves wages and supports care delivery. The reports reflect shared messaging that the province’s current offer does not meet wage expectations and that stronger action is needed to end the work stoppage.
