Labor contract negotiations with UMRS fail to reach agreement pending planned four-day strike
Over 800 UB resident physicians will begin a four-day strike on Tuesday as labor contract negotiations to increase salaries and improve working conditions failed to reach an agreement.
The residents, represented by the Union of American Physicians and Dentists (UAPD), authorized the strike last month, accusing their employer, University Medical Resident Services P.C. (UMRS), of “bargaining in bad faith” during the year-long negotiations.
