More labour trouble for the McNeil Government.
NSGEU President Jason MacLean says a tentative contract, reached over a year ago; has now been rejected by 94% of the local members.
MacLean is urging the government to return to the bargaining table, saying that deal was reached under duress because the government was threatening to legislate a contract.
Finance Minister Randy Delorey says the offer was fair and was based on what the province can afford.
