UB resident physicians' union to provide update on contract negotiations

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) -- The Union of American Physicians and Dentists, which represents 830 resident physicians and fellows at the University at Buffalo, is expected to give an update on contract negotiations with their employer Wednesday.

Beginning Sept. 3, the strike lasted for four days as resident physicians claimed the pay they received from their employer, University Medical Resident Services, was not enough for a living wage. Negotiations were stalled after two meetings took place this month.

An update will be given in a press conference at 4 p.m. Wednesday following a bargaining session earlier in the day.
