Two health care votes in Manitoba yesterday yielded very different results.

On one hand, Manitoba's nurses voted 75 percent in favour of a tentative agreement. The new deal will see nurses wages and benefits rise by about 13.5% over three years.

There were only two holdouts. Locals at Grace and Seven Oaks hospitals rejected the contract.

Nurses Union president Maureen Hancharyk says she'll meet with the local leaders in the coming days to discuss their options.

Meanwhile, Winnipeg's ambulance workers turned in decisive votes on three issues yesterday.

They voted 96 percent against the city's latest contract. They voted 94 percent in favour of striking. And by a margin of 92 percent, they voted to turf their association president Derric Boles.

Union spokeswoman Janice Johnson, says Boles did not support the membership's wishes to strike.

She says the vote results will send a clear message to the city.

"Our membership is united and we're sending a strong message to city hall that we've got some serious concerns and issues that need to be addressed," Johnson said.

"Ultimately, we would like to settle our dispute at the negotiating table. It's our goal to get a fair contract, not to leave Winnipeggers without service."

Ambulance workers want wage parity with city firefighters. Johnson says firefighters earn an average of 11 percent more than ambulance workers. She says the city's last offer included an increase of about five percent.
