Cupe Calls For A National Inquiry

Canadian Blood Services unions from across the country are calling for the Federal Health Minister to call a national inquiry.

They want a deeper look into the decision by Canadian Blood Services to re-locate it's production lab in Millidgeville to Nova Scotia.

Cupe Rep Mike Davidson says it is a concern when CBS officials say the move was made to save money when CEO Dr. Graham Sher makes over $671,000 dollars a year which includes an over $141,000 pay increase over the past three years.

Davidson adds any inquiry should also have the Federal Health Minister ask CBS how it can ignore the Provincial Medical Community and it's wishes.
