Negotiations between the New Brunswick Association of Nursing Homes and the union representing its workers resumed on Monday in Fredericton.
The provincial government has announced it will be part of the talks at the request of the association.
Social Development Minister Dorothy Shephard says while the province will be at the table, the association will still lead the negotiations.
Shephard was granted a ten-day stay order from the court which prevented the workers from legally striking on Sunday.
Members of CUPE were upset and many staged noon-hour protests around the province on Monday.
More than 4-thousand workers are affected at 45 nursing homes across New Brunswick.
