“Recruitment and retention are critical considerations that we cannot ignore in rendering our award,” the arbitrator wrote.
Hospitals had been urging 0.75 per cent for each year, but the arbitrators said that would not be sufficient. The nurses’ association says, however, that those amounts still don’t reflect the value of registered nurses, and won’t be enough to address staff shortages in the profession. “They utterly fail to address the relentless decay in working conditions for a workforce that has been on the front lines for Ontarians throughout a deadly pandemic, nor do they do anything to address existing gender inequity.”Arbitration is set to be held over two days next week for the hospital nurses’ next contract.
