Hospital workers whose unions fought Premier Doug Ford’s Bill 124 wage restraint legislation — limiting them to raises of one per cent annually — have won pay hikes of 3.75 per cent for last year and 2.5 per cent this year.
wage restraint legislation — limiting them to raises of one per cent annually — have won pay hikes of 3.75 per cent for last year and 2.5 per cent this year.
While the raises are below the rate of inflation that peaked at eight per cent last year, “I think they’ll be well received,” said Michael Hurley of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions.Contracts for the workers in the Canadian Union of Public Employees and SEIU Healthcare expired in 2021 and their bargaining with hospitals resulted in the mandated maximum increases of one per cent.
There are also what the unions called “long-deserved increases” to shift premiums, weekend premiums, callbacks, vision and massage therapy coverage. Being called back to work results in payment at double time.Ontario Hospital Association chief executive Anthony Dale said in a statement the ruling “recognizes the enormous value of front-line health-care workers.”
But Dale said the pay increases, which are retroactive for current and former employees, should help.
