Transcript:
Nurse: Are you going to respect our rights and negotiate?
Premier McNeil: Absolutely
Nurse: That’s the thing. Instead of making us an essential service and taking away everyone’s right to negotiate in the future.
Premier McNeil: I’m going to allow you to negotiate. That’s what I’ve been doing all along.
Nurse: You didn’t do that with the home support?
