Cornwall paramedics vote to strike if contract talks with city fail

CORNWALL, Ont. – Paramedics in Cornwall have given their union a strike mandate.

CUPE Local 5734 says 93 per cent voted on Wednesday in favour of a walkout if contract talks with the eastern Ontario city stall.

The union says the paramedics have been without a contract since September.

CUPE and city negotiators begin conciliation talks on Friday.

The union says key issues are seniority, job security and part-time working conditions.
