A union representing the majority of Ontario long-term care nurses says its members are expected to get the most significant wage increase in more than three decades.
Pay bumps to the Ontario Nurses’ Association members will work out to about 11.5 per cent over two years.
The arbitration decision released this week awarded three per cent increases in each of the two years, and set the salary grid amounts about 5.5 per cent higher, taking effect on July 1st.
The starting wage for registered nurses in the long-term care homes goes from 32 dollars and 22 cents per hour to nearly 34 dollars per hour.
