Ontario’s nurses are meeting with MPPS and holding a rally today to make it clear they want a better deal in order to keep their profession strong and are warning that failing to do so could have repercussions for the health of the population.
The Registered Nurses Association of Ontario is set to meet with MPP’s at Queen’s Park to discuss their priorities today.
RNAO CEO Doris Grinspun said compensation needs to be improved and equalized for nurses across all roles and made competitive with that offered in the U.S. “The crisis in nursing is real, it’s tragic and we all pay dearly for it with our health,” Grinspun said. “The Ontario Hospital Association takes its marching orders and its money from the Ontario government and the last time we negotiated a collective agreement, fully negotiated a collective agreement, was in 2011,” Interim ONA President Bernie Robinson told CP24 in an interview Thursday morning. “That is 12 years ago. And it's absolutely despicable that we are sitting here 12 years later and are facing arbitration as of tomorrow.
Robinson said working conditions for nurses have been made “deplorable” and pointed to a gruelling workload and a government law, Bill 124, which capped wage increases to one per cent for three years.
