Nova Scotia’s Progressive Conservative government says unionization wasn’t behind its decision to cut the service agreement of a non-profit agency that oversees restorative justice in Halifax.
The provincial program — financed by the Justice Department — ended its 25-year relationship as the CUPE-represented caseworkers were heading into conciliation earlier this month.
CUPE’s Nova Scotia president says she suspects unionization was a factor in the decision, as the work is being temporarily shifted to an agency with non-unionized case workers.
But a Justice Department spokesperson says the department’s “commitment to delivering high-quality service” was the deciding factor.
