The union representing staff in New Brunswick's Tourism Department says money spent on a European trip could have helped stave off staffing cuts at attractions in the province.

The union representing staff in New Brunswick’s Tourism Department says money spent by the tourism minister and her deputy on a European trip could have helped stave off staffing cuts at popular attractions in the province.

Union member Mike Bravener, who works at King’s Landing outside Fredericton, said reduced staffing at the site means it sometimes feels lifeless rather than the living history museum it is supposed to be. The loss in hours is also causing anxiety among seasonal employees who depend on getting enough work to qualify for employment insurance in the off-season, Bravener added.U.K. takes aim at allies like Canada, wants higher NATO targets

Stephen Drost, CUPE New Brunswick president, said it was “concerning” that the province could find $42,000 for a trip for Scott-Wallace and her staff but couldn’t find the money for the workers who keep attractions open.
