Espanola, Elliot Lake and Manitoulin Island hospital workers will join their counterparts across Ontario in voting for a new contract reached by their various bargaining units.
Intense weekend bargaining for 75,000 Ontario hospital workers whose three unions formed a unique alliance in provincial negotiations has resulted in a tentative contract with hospital employers.
SEIU president Sharleen Stewart says together, the three unions were able to accomplish something that, on our own, they would not have been able to do.
In addition to new language on workplace violence, the tentative deal provides for a wage increase and no concessions.
Unifor, CUPE, SEIU hospital sector members will be voting on the contract over the next few weeks.
