## Resource

Nurses in the Bahamas are on the verge of a major win as a new five-year contract nears finalization, but legal delays have slowed progress. Union president Muriel Lightbourn says talks aim to retain staff through better pay, retirement benefits, and fairer on-call compensation — now rebranded as an “availability allowance” with real overtime pay. Nurses are frustrated by government’s pause request tied to court rulings, while officials promise overdue mileage and overtime payments will be settled by month’s end. The union is watching closely — and ready to act if promises aren’t kept. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
