BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — UB resident physicians are on the verge of going back on the picket line after contract negotiations with their employer stalled once again on Wednesday. It comes weeks after a four-day strike in early September that impacted hospitals in Buffalo.
Wednesday was the third time the Union of American Physicians and Dentists (UAPD) have sat at the table with University Medical Resident Services (UMRS). Once again, they said it was slow-moving and not productive.
“Our ask to UB, our ask to the community, is let’s get this done. Don’t make them wait any longer,” said UAPD negotiator Candace Morrison.
