"It's like David taking on Goliath"--that's how the President of the Province's Home Care Association describes their fight with the Alward government.
Bob Price says a meeting in Saint John this morning with Finance Minister Blaine Higgs and Social Development Minister Sue Stultz did not go well.The meeting to discuss the challenges facing home care and how government can help home care agencies keep seniors in their homes.
He says the government has figured out by themselves without talking to them that wages are the most important.
Prices says wages are important but, their workers have told them education and training are just as important to feel comfortable in their jobs.
Price says his group is heading to the Centennial building in Fredericton to inform the government to keep their 4.4 million dollars because they can afford it.
