The Ontario Nurses’ Association is bargaining a new contract for hospital nurses and the union is planning a series of actions to bolster its push for higher wages.
Nurses and other public sector workers have been subject for three years to a wage restraint law known as Bill 124 which capped increases at one per cent a year.
Bernie Robinson, who is the interim president of the association, says the last contract left nurses feeling disrespected.
The union says it’s planning a series of “escalating actions,” starting with having nurses wear stickers while at work that highlight the bargaining priorities of better wages, better staffing and better care.
