By Rosalind Russell – Sixty registered nurses and one nurse practitioner are hoping to see conciliation talks that start today lead to a new contract.
According to the Ontario Nurses’ Association provincial president, Erin Arris there has been only three negotiation sessions so far focusing on the key issues of understaffing, wages, burnout, and job security.
She adds the talks will seek competitive compensation that reflects the unique challenges of northern practice and cost of living, investment in recruitment to reach safer staffing levels, and job protection.
Public Health Algoma has made no comment on the negotiations nor the conciliation talks.
