WATERLOO, ON, June 29, 2020 /CNW/ - Hundreds of front-line registered nurses, registered practical nurses and health-care professionals will hold a peaceful protest today to encourage the repeal of Bill 124.
Health-care workers from Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph and surrounding areas will be rallying from noon until 2 p.m. at Waterloo Town Square.
Bill 124 is wage-suppression legislation that was passed by the Ford government late last year. The Bill negatively impacts female-dominated professions including registered nurses, registered practical nurses, nurse practitioners, and health-care professionals. It limits wage increases to a maximum of one per cent total compensation each year for three years. It interferes with Charter rights to freely bargain, and it is gender biased.
ONA is the union representing more than 68,000 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.
WHAT:
Peaceful protest by nurses and health-care professionals regarding the repeal of Bill 124.
WHEN:
Monday, June 29 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
WHERE:
Waterloo Town Square, 75 King Street South, Waterloo
