About 830 medical residents who work in University at Buffalo-affiliated hospitals are set to go on a four-day strike after midnight Tuesday, even as negotiations between their union and employer continued Monday.
Union negotiators made “a little bit of progress” with University Medical Resident Services (UMRS), the private corporation that employees UB’s medical residents, over the weekend, according to Dr. Stuart Bussey, the president of the Union of American Physicians and Dentists (UAPD), which represents UB-affiliated medical residents. But Bussey said he still expected the strike to move forward as scheduled.
