Burned out and fed up with working conditions they say are unfair, Ontario's coroners are pushing to be allowed to unionize – despite their first raise in more than a decade and a law preventing them from doing so.
The Ontario Coroners Association says coroners are frustrated with a new computer program that has increased workloads and lost data, and are concerned about growing reliance on nurses for investigations and a system that places all coroners on call.
Dr. Dirk Huyer says he understands why coroners are trying to unionize, noting they were told for years that their pay was going to increase and working conditions would improve. If the coroners cannot achieve full unionization, they hope to come up with something akin to the Ontario Medical Association, which represents doctors and can negotiate with the government on their behalf.Earlier this month, Huyer presented a series of reforms, including an increase in pay.
Huyer has also set a "call schedule" to address the issue of coroners saying no to investigating a death. Walton says that approach is "missing the mark."
