This time next week, the labour landscape in Nova Scotias health-care sector will be very different, but its anyones guess as to how it will look.
Mediator-arbitrator Jim Dorsey has until next Monday to deliver his final decision about the makeup of four new bargaining units as prescribed by Bill 1, and last week Health and Wellness Minister Leo Glavine said his understanding is the report will come on the 19th.
Copies will be delivered to the government and four health-care unions at the same time and it wont be long after that before the public gets a glimpse.
Glavine said Friday the government has made no contingency plans for the possibility that Dorsey does something they dont like, largely because it is the governments view that Bill 1 is pretty clear about what is supposed to happen.
We felt our legislation is strong, is directive toward this mediation-arbitration process, and so were prepared to wait until the 19th and then react based upon (Dorseys) decision, said Glavine.
When asked if the government sees itself bound by Dorseys ruling, Glavine said his recommendation will be our path forward.
It will also be difficult for the unions to protest too much, regardless of what Dorsey does. He was, after all, their No. 1 choice for the job when asked by the government for suggestions. And there are indications, based on a previous Dorsey report, that he isnt going to simply rubber-stamp the governments wishes.
Bill 1 is the legislation that merges nine district health authorities into one provincial board; it also calls for the number of bargaining units to be reduced to four health care, nursing, clerical and service and for each of the four health-care unions to represent just one of the units.
Although they were united in their opposition to the bill when it was first announced and being debated in the House, it wasnt long before friction developed between Unifor, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, the Nova Scotia Nurses Union and the Nova Scotia Government & General Employees Union, and they started calling for different options.
When the bill passed, Dorsey was brought in, first as a mediator and eventually as an arbitrator, to settle what union would get which group of workers and also hear arguments about which workers would be included in what groups.

Driving an increase in stock value are the Affordable Care Act and expanded Medicaid in many states (although not Florida). This provides more people with health insurance and thus more access to hospitals.
HCA shares reached $74.65 on Friday, up from $48.77 a year ago. HCA owns Ocala Health System, the parent company of Ocala Regional and West Marion.
Community Health Systems, now the largest chain by hospital count since absorbing Health Management Associates in January, saw its stock climb to $55.10 on Friday, up from $41.35 a year ago.
HCA reported third-quarter 2014 revenues of $9.22 billion, a 9 percent increase over the same quarter in 2013.
Net income for HCA Holdings Inc. totaled $518 million during the third quarter, according to company earnings reports.
CHS saw third-quarter revenues of $4.8 billion, a 51.1 percent increase compared with $3.2 billion for the same period in 2013. The increase in revenue also reflects revenues from newly acquired HMA.
CHS' adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the three months ending Sept. 30 was $663 million, compared with $382 million for the same period in 2013, according to company reports.
At first glance, the positive stock performance might seem out of line with the recent trend in health care spending. Year-over-year increases in overall health spending have been modest in the past five years, with a high annual increase of 3.4 percent (2012 compared to 2011) and a low of 2.9 percent (2013 compared to 2012), according to the Peterson-Kaiser Health System Tracker, which uses federal data.
"The share of gross domestic product devoted to health care spending has remained at 17.4 percent since 2009," the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reported last month.

THE Coffs Harbour-Grafton region was halfway down the scale in terms of the country's most industrially diverse regions in 2011, a new Australian Bureau of Statistics study has found.
Researchers split the country into 94 statistical regions and compared how their workforces were spread across different industries.
Coffs Harbour-Grafton took out the 42nd most diverse slot, with health care and social assistance named the biggest employer (7475 workers).
Retail trade was the next biggest job market (6719 workers), followed by education, accommodation and food services (4774) and construction (4443).
Residents were least likely to find jobs in the mining sector (213 workers), information technology (541) and electricity, gas, water and waste services (549).
The report stated an even spread of job types could be seen as a strength or a weakness.
Areas such as the Silicon Valley in the United States, with its intense concentration on technology, or financial clusters in London, New York and Tokyo are able to share suppliers, knowledge and customers between companies to get an edge on their out-of-town competitors.
But it has its drawbacks, too. Geelong's over-reliance on the automotive manufacturing industry was proven dangerous when major companies pulled out of Australia to pursue lower costs in Asia. The region is actively shifting away from specialisation due to the risk associated with reliance on a few industries.

Aurora Health Care and Humana Inc. announced today that they have entered into a new accountable care agreement for Medicare Advantage members throughout the eastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois region.
The organizations say that the agreement, which went into effect on Jan. 1, will provide Humana Medicare Advantage members with a better way of receiving health care at Auroras 15 hospitals, 159 outpatient facilities and 70 retail pharmacies.
The new agreement, centered around Humanas accountable care continuum, is based on a pay-for-value system focused on promoting evidence-based, highly-integrated care that can lead to improved medical outcomes, a better patient experience and lower costs.
Aurora is dedicated to helping people live well, and this new accountable care relationship aligns with that mission, said Rick Klein, Auroras executive vice president of business development. Were looking forward to implementing this agreement and further evolving health care into a more sustainable industry for the future.
Humana and Aurora will work together to enhance medical records infrastructure and further collaborate on disease management and prevention, such as diabetes care and treatment, breast cancer screenings, colorectal cancer screenings and high-risk medication. Humana members will receive customized care through doctor resources, including real-time gap in care identification, predictive modeling and electronic health records.
As a company, were shifting our focus to increase preventative services and ensure efficient, high-quality care to keep members on a path toward lifelong health, said Bruno Piquin, senior markets vice president of Humanas northern division. Aurora is a high-performing health system with a longstanding history in Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Entering into this new relationship will not only lead to world-class care for our members but overall healthier individuals, families and communities.
Humana has a 26-year accountable care relationship history with more than 1.2 million MA members that are cared for by 38,000 primary care physicians, in more than 900 accountable care relationships across 43 states and Puerto Rico.
Humana also entered Jan. 1 into a new three-year accountable care agreement and partnership with Kenosha County-based United Hospital System.

New research provides insights into the ties between certain genetic variants and kidney disease in African Americans. The genetic association is one of the strongest ever reported for a common disease, and these latest findings may help improve diagnosis and treatment. The study appears in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).
African Americans have a 4-fold increased risk for chronic kidney disease compared with European Americans. Recent work from several research groups has shown that much of this risk is due to genetic variations in a gene called apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1), which creates a protein that is a component of HDL, or good cholesterol. These variants arose tens of thousands of years ago in sub-Saharan Africa, and so are present in individuals who have recent sub-Saharan African ancestry. Approximately 5 million African Americans carry APOL1 risk variants, placing them at increased risk for kidney disease.
Jeffrey Kopp, MD (National Institutes of Health) and his colleagues investigated the role of APOL1 variants in a particular form of kidney disease called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The team studied information on 94 patients with FSGS and found that patients who had APOL1 variants tended to have more advanced disease when they were diagnosed, which fits with prior observations that this genetic form of FSGS progresses rapidly. Previous research has shown that patients with two APOL1 variants respond to glucocorticoids with reductions in urinary protein excretion, but they nonetheless may experience progressive loss of kidney function. The present study showed a similar pattern with cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil. "New therapies targeting APOL1 injury pathways are needed, as standard therapies do not work for many people with this gene variant," said Dr. Kopp.
The investigators also found that 72% of self-identified African Americans in the study had APOL1 risk variants, similar to earlier findings. "We also found the APOL1 risk genotype in 2 individuals of Hispanic descent, which is well known, and in 2 individuals who self-identified as White, or European American, which has not been reported before. This last finding suggests that APOL1 risk variants can be present in individuals who self-identify in various ways," said Dr. Kopp.
In an accompanying editorial, Christopher Larsen, MD (Nephropath) and Barry Freedman, MD, PhD (Wake Forest School of Medicine) write that "the report by Kopp et al. enhances our understanding of a common etiology of the FSGS lesion seen on kidney biopsy in African Americans." They note, however, that the findings from the trial, although informative, are not encouraging due to the poor outcomes that patients with APOL1 variants often ultimately experience.

The standard mantra begins: Of course Im in favour of press freedom, BUT And you always mind the but. You watch for the qualifications and thus for some separate, limiting agenda. Yet the fascinating thing, this Charlie Hebdo time around, is that there are no buts, no caveats, no excuses, no ritual citing of codes and reservations. It is deemed absolutely right to hold the prophet (or anyone else) up for ridicule. It is absolutely wrong to threaten journalists with violence in return. As for killing a dozen cartoonists, writers, visitors and police at their editorial offices, who can possibly excuse such berserk vileness? Press freedom is under manifest threat. Crowds around the world demonstrate their grief and resolve. Politicians, priests and editors march together down Charlies freedom road.
Count the absence of buts, then, as affirmation, as a question of principle. And if theres principle here, theres also the clear Gallic logic of right and wrong. It is wrong to kill journalists because of what they write or draw. It was therefore wrong for a local group that calls itself al-Qaida to kill Khalid Mohammed al Washali, a Yemeni TV reporter, on a road outside Sanaa just one week ago. It was wrong to see cameraman Zubair Hatami assassinated by bomb blast in Kabul a few days before.
It was wrong, wrong, wrong a hundred times over through a hundred murders in 2014. At least 38 journalists died in the Middle East last year: 18 of them in Syria. Six Palestinians perished in Gaza. Range further east to six dead Pakistani correspondents, six dead Afghans, four dead Bangladeshis and something else is absolutely evident. This is not some inchoate war of Muslims against those who clutch the pen of truth. Here are Muslims dying, in chilling numbers, to hold that pen, to expose brutality, crime, corruption and the rest.
Press freedom knows no bounds and has no religion. Press freedom is your right to be informed, educated, entertained, stirred to laughter or action. Press freedom is every societys safety valve. The context of the Charlie Hebdo massacre makes that point in the most desolate way possible.
This does not mean, naturally, that journalism in every society is the same, rattling identical cages. Take the most obvious difference. France is an insistently secular state. If we say to religion You are untouchable then were fucked, according to Grard Briard, Charlies surviving editor-in-chief. Cartoons of the prophet naked or the pope holding a condom and proclaiming This is my body are prime targets for Charlie artists week after week. It is serious, acrid stuff images that do far more than spit in the whimsical, Oxbridge British tradition (which mostly wouldnt bother with religion much anyway, because C of E-ness doesnt shift many copies on newsstands).
Theres even a specific French name for it gouaille. Arthur Goldhammer, the brilliant Harvard-based translator explained to al-Jazeera and Vox: Its an anarchic, populist form of obscenity that aims to cut down anything that would erect itself as venerable, sacred or powerful.
So does this, on examination, represent the absolutism of press freedom the crowds muster to defend? Yes, as a concept and a creed. Freedom in a defined cultural context; freedom that makes sense within traditional borders and traditional terms of reference. It doesnt travel naturally to bookstalls in Manchester or Miami, but thats not the point.
Charlie Hebdo and a whole tradition of scabrous satire are part of France, part of the French definition of freedom and part of the bill of goods foreigners who settle there sign up for. In short, it isnt the cartoons themselves, taken one by one, that count; nor is it their differing capacity to shock as you travel from nation to nation. It is what they mean for France; and for what this whole desperate episode means for press freedom every time a politician hastens to hymn it.
There is no absolute conformity here, but there is the sudden appearance of absolute solidarity, positioning free media at the heart of a free society. Thats why journalists across the globe have been so moved and so shaken by the tragedy in Rue Nicolas-Appert. Its scale seems to stun all of us. And the message we register and pass on in turn has the force of momentum at last.
The rest is here:
Press freedom can also deliver horror, which makes it all the more precious
