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.
