Support Staff Strike at NOSM Continues

Support staff at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine have voted not to accept a tentative deal.

Tuesday's vote was a decisive 76.8-percent against.

Tyler England of Local 677 of the Ontario Public Service Employees Union says the members made it clear that the deal was not good enough.

Turnout for the vote was 94 per cent.

The 150 clerical, technical and administrative workers have been on strike in Thunder Bay and Sudbury since August 16th.

Issues include wages, hours of work and overtime.
