Labour Relations & Negotiations
Labour relations and negotiations are important parts of ONA’s role as your representative.
As members, your contract defines the parameters of your work.
As your union, it’s our job to negotiate the best contracts possible.
We continuously strive to improve and enhance your work life.
Working Together
There are 139 hospital bargaining units that participate in central bargaining with the Ontario Hospital Association.

Members in this sector have the right to binding arbitration under the Hospital Labour Disputes Arbitration Act if they reach an impasse in bargaining.
