Ontario's health-care unions have signed a 10-point solidarity plan to stand united against the Ontario government and the Ontario Hospital Association as the unions prepare to enter bargaining for new collective agreements
As Ontario's health care unions prepare to enter collective bargaining with the Ontario Hospital Association, they announced Thursday they will stand united in the face of staff shortages and moves by the Ontario Conservatives toward privatizing health care.
Hurley said the crisis includes such things as long surgical wait lists, long wait lists for MRIs and CAT scans and thousands of patients on stretchers in the hallways of Ontario hospitals. And despite the OHA refusing to bargain with all three unions at once, the labour organizations have pledged to stand united, said Kelly-Anne Orr, the representative of the national office of Unifor.
Sarah Correia, the director for the SEIU health sector, said there is a real fear that hospitals will push for concessions and spending cuts. She said this will affect many health-care wage earners.
