Media Release: Ontario Nursing Homes Ordered to Pay Nurses and Health-Care Professionals 11.5-per-cent Salary Increases Over Two Years (May 21, 2024)
Registered nurses and health-care professionals represented by ONA participated in conciliation with 208 participating nursing homes on April 30, 2024, to negotiate a new collective agreement covering the period of July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026. The parties were largely unsuccessful in resolving the matters in dispute between them.
Mediation-arbitration was held on May 1-2, 2024, before Arbitrator Sheri Price. ONA prioritized the issues important to its members: compensation and staffing ratios. The central theme of ONA’s year-long campaign is: “Care, Not Profit.” The issues presented at arbitration were discussed, debated and ultimately voted on by the membership and are responsive to the crisis in Long-Term Care.
