Unifor Northern Ontario hospital workers have ratified a new collective tentative agreement.
National President Lana Payne says it marks a victory for their hospital workers who have fought for fair compensation and working conditions.
Payne says the agreement not only enhances wages and benefits, but also acknowledges the role they play in the health care system.
Officials share the new agreement mirrors a recent arbitration award for hospital workers represented by CUPE and SEIU which resulted in a 6% wage increase. This increase comprises a 3% raise each year.
