Two more long-term care homes in the province are expected to join the strike that is now in week five.
They are Inverary Manor in Inverness and Foyer Pere Fiset in Cheticamp. They are set to walk off the job, Thursday.
CUPE says it means roughly 3,300 members from 34 homes will be on the picket lines.
They have been fighting for higher wages with a second round of talks that failed between the union and the province last week.
CUPE says they went to the table hopeful but that hope, “quickly died”.
Meantime, Senior’s Minister Barb Adams says the deal proposed by the union was not feasible.
Workers walked off the job, April 13.
