Walked off job on March 8 after failed mediation: ONA
More than 80 public health nurses voted against ratifying a tentative agreement with the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit on April 2.
“We are disappointed that this strike will continue, and that our dedicated nurses are not yet able to go back to doing what they care so deeply about — working to ensure the health and well-being of their communities,” said Vicki McKenna, Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) president.
ONA is the union representing more than 65,000 registered nurses and health-care professionals, as well as 18,000 nursing student affiliates, providing care in hospitals, long-term care facilities, public health, the community, clinics and industry.
