Binding arbitration: The only reasonable option left
(PDF)
April 14, 2010
On March 19, the Newfoundland and Labrador Medical Association (NLMA)
called on Premier Danny Williams to refer negotiations for a new
agreement between the province’s doctors and the government to
binding arbitration. The Premier promptly dismissed this possibility,
stating: “under no circumstances are we prepared to send this matter
to binding arbitration.” Despite Mr. Williams’ edict, the NLMA is
not abandoning our position. We believe that arbitration is entirely
justified and in the best interest of not only the province’s doctors,
but the public as well. |
