The Liberal government will be introducing legislation later today that Health Minister Leo Glavine has said will dictate to health care workers to which union they will belong. This is a violation of the Trade Union Act which gives workers the right to a union of their choice, not their employer's choice. Nova Scotia's health care unions are united against this legislation and are calling on the government to accept a deal to create a bargaining association for health care, a model that has been employed successfully in British Columbia.

The Nova Scotia Federation fo Labour is encouraging all union activists and members and our social justice allies to come to a rally starting at 4 pm on Monday, September 29th at Province House in support of our health care workers and free collective bargaining. The House will beginning sitting at 7 pm and we want to be there as the politicians begin to arrive. This could be a late night depending on how long the House sits, so dress warm.

When: Monday, September 29th beginning at 4 pm
Where: Province House on Hollis St in Halifax
Why: To stand up for free and fair collective bargaining
