St. Stephen – Paramedics from throughout New Brunswick, who are members of CUPE Local 4848, and their supporters, including politicians such as PC Leader Blaine Higgs, staged a rally in St. Stephen today to raise awareness of the union’s struggles with employment as it relates vacation eligibility and bilingualism which they claim results in fewer “trucks” (ambulances) on the road and longer response times.
For more on the rally, including interviews with union members, Higgs and other politicians, see an upcoming edition of The Saint Croix Courier.
