We are frontline hospital workers that have been slapped in the face by Doug Ford.

MRTs encompasse Xray, CT, Ultrasound, MRI, Nuc Med Technologists and Radiation Therapist. We are in the face of covid everyday.

Please hear us 🇨🇦

There are many #forgottenheroes that are in direct contact with patients. They basically forgot ALL of allied health. #PandemicPayForAllHospitalWorkers

[ultrasickchick @ultrasickchick]

#PandemicPayForAllHospitalWorkers is about recognition & respect! ALL HOSPITAL WORKERS SHOULD BE ON THE PANDEMIC PAY LIST! @fordnation @celliottability @MonteMcNaughton @PBethlenfalvy FIX THIS RIGHT NOW!!!

[ultrasickchick @ultrasickchick]

Sonographers are in direct physical contact w/ patients every single day. They can’t distance themselves. Yet they’re not frontline workers? @fordnation @celliottability @MonteMcNaughton @PBethlenfalvy NEED to do the right thing here NOW! #PandemicPayForAllHospitalWorkers

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

I know I mostly focus on Alberta (it’s home!) but the Ford govt is working on “pulling a Shandro” with hospital workers’ pandemic pay. Please consider hyping #PandemicPayForAllHospitalWorkers today!

[Ross Keatley @RossKeatley]

A major oversight of @Fordnation pandemic pay is that many frontline workers have been forgotten #PandemicPayForAllHospitalWorkers @celliottability , @MonteMcNaughton, @PBethlenfalvy, @RodPhillips01

[Gary Chalmers @GaryChalmersSki]

I know Ford did well with this pandemic for twenty minutes or whatever, but he’s showing his true colours again. Who praises med workers as “heroes” one day and yanks their pandemic pay the next? Doug Ford, that’s who.

[Jennie Stevens @JennieStevens_]

They’ve provided therapies, tests & other key supports directly to patients throughout #COVID19, but somehow thousands of frontline healthcare workers are STILL excluded from receiving Ontario’s $4/hour pandemic pay. 1/

Thank you @ASRT for this 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Up here in Ontario Canada we are trying to educate our leaders in government. Apparently here Radiologic and Sonography Techs are not frontline enough to receive Temporary Pandemic Pay

@MrtUnited @CAMRT_ACTRM @fordnation Wrote my 2nd letter to Doug Ford today after receiving his response that he won’t be adding to the list as doesn’t have anymore funds...

That the @ONgov continues to not recognize MRTs & DMSs in the TPP is an atrocity! It is shocking to us and should be embarrassing for them. #WeAreEssential and should be treated as such. @CP24 @CTVNews @CBCToronto @nationalpost @TorontoStar @City_tv @fordnation @OAMRS1 #TPP

[Denyne MacKinlay @NeenerMack]

Front line workers that work directly with Covid patients are being left out of pandemic pay @fordnation @celliottability @PBethlenfalvy include ALL essential workers. #pandemicpay

@MrtUnited @fordnation @celliottability Do you know what an MRT or DMS does? Come spend a day in the hospital then maybe you'll be in a position to make educated decisions about who should receive pandemic pay. #embarrassing #pandemicpay #educateyourself #frontlineworkers

[Ray Javier @RayJavier79]

@fordnation For the 3rd time, the ON gov’t updated the list of those eligible for pandemic pay to include everyone in the hospital including those who have zero contact with patients let alone the ones suspected or positive for COVID.
Still, Diagnostic Imaging staff are excluded.

[Holly Daniel @thehollz06]

@fordnation @OAMRS1 @MrtUnited I just spent 45 minutes alone with a COVID+ patient turning, rolling, transporting and then disinfecting to get X-rays and CT done. And I do not qualify for pandemic pay? And I am not at risk? #wakeup #weareessential #wedeservebetter
