Public Health Nurses and Nurse Practitioners working for Algoma Public Health Unit are entering into a second day of conciliation talks today with their employer.
More than 50 Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) members have been without a contract since April 1, 2017, and are among the lowest-paid public health nurses in all of Ontario.
The two sides held one day of conciliation in late February, but failed to reach an agreement.
ONA President Vicki McKenna, RN, is urging the employer to come to conciliation prepared to offer a fair and respectful contract and avoid a possible strike.
