Nelson House care home nurses have put their fate into the hands of the Manitoba Labor Board.

Sandi Mowat, President of the Manitoba Nurses Union says they’ve applied for a settlement through the labor board:

"They look at the last agreement, like what’s agreed to already and then where everybody’s last potions are and then they will actually impose an agreement. So what happens then, is when you apply for that, the strike basically ends, the nurses go back to work, and then you wait for the labor boards decision".

Mowat says they made the decision after no progress was being made since they started the strike back in May.

The main issue for the nurses is that they aren’t being paid the same amount as other nurses in the province.
