Today's vote: Should binding arbitration be entrenched for physicians?
We reported this weekend that the Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association is floating an interesting proposal: it would give up the right to strike in return for having binding arbitration put in place for resolving physicians’ disputes with the provincial government.
The move comes as doctors vote on whether to accept or reject a government offer, and amid a particularly difficult bargaining round that has triggered a round of resignations from salaried specialists. Through it all, the government has refused to turn the matter over to binding arbitration.
What do you think?
