Ontario hospital workers are set to get additional wage increases over two years after Bill 124 was found unconstitutional.
An arbitrator has awarded 3.75 per cent and 2.5 per cent for last year and this year to hospital workers such as dietary aides, personal support workers and registered practical nurses on top of the one per cent per year they received under the law known as Bill 124.
Arbitrator William Kaplan said in a decision this week that the best comparators for wage increases that would have been freely collectively bargained during the 2022 and 2023 time period are the 4.75 per cent and 3.5 per cent, respectively, that both Ontario power workers and federal public service employees achieved.
"Wage increases can reasonably be expected to keep people in the workforce, attract people who have left to return, and incentivize future employees," Kaplan wrote. "The province is offering a buffet of policies and programs -- almost all financial in nature -- to incentivize employees to careers in healthcare because of its axiomatic conclusion that this approach will work; at least that is the underlying premise," Kaplan wrote.
"That said, while collective bargaining is important, there is no one single contributor or solution that will directly overcome the deep-rooted and multi-faceted health human resource challenges facing Ontario's health care system," he wrote in a statement.
