More than 70 registered nurses at Southwestern Public Health ratified a new three-year agreement. Having been one of the lowest-paid in comparison to surrounding Public Health Units, they secured a long-overdue wage increase, fair compensation for the work they do beyond their regularly scheduled hours and improvements to professional development opportunities.
The nurses are grateful to all the community members and allies that voiced their support to the SWPH Board of Health. With their priorities addressed in the new agreement, they are very eager to continue providing the high quality and timely care the community needs and deserves.
