Paramedics Greet New Health Minister in Vernon

Starlee Speers-Vernon105.7 SUNFM:

Progress is being made on the construction of the new tower at Vernon Jubilee hospital but it appears striking paramedics aren't any closer to resolving their contract issues.Paramedics were protesting outside the hospital in Vernon today while a conference to update media on progress was held at the construction site. Jason Angulo, Strike captain for the North Okanagan says the union had requested a meeting with new Health Minister Kevin Falcon..."...to ask him to appoint a third party mediator to settle this dispute sooner rather than later. That was met with a quick rejection."Kevin Falcon spoke to the media Friday and said the new patient care tower is slightly ahead of schedule.
