If you give @ontarionurses a 1% pay increase for the year, and inflation is at 8.1%, then nurses' pay has effectively DROPPED by 7.1% this year.
Also, no, a one-time $5,000 payout does not make up for the loss.
Doug Ford calls nurses heroes, then squeezes their wages.
We need to #RepealBill124 – Ford's low wage bill – just like the courts did with the Del Duca Liberals' wage cap bill.
Nurses deserve a government that has their back like they've had ours. #ONpoli#ONelxn
@votingnurse @ItsDeanBlundell@SEIUHealthCan And there is this! 👇👇👇Terrible way to treat our nurses who were peacefully protesting Bill #124. https://t.co/lf1FgLJjfi
Ont. Green Party Leader Schreiner challenges Progressive Conservative Leader Ford on his government's handling of health-care workers. https://t.co/JhO8UmbWiV
FACT: Ontario's Bill 124 is nothing but wage suppression legislation unfairly targeting nurses & health workers at a time when we need them the most (in the middle of a raging pandemic). It is worsening our health staffing crisis. The Ontario government must #RepealBill124 ASAP!
