There is a tentative agreement in place for hospital workers across the province, including those who work for Riverside Health Care Facilities in our district.
It still needs their approval, but the unions negotiating with the Ontario Hospital Association say they were able to achieve language aimed at addressing violence in the workplace.
It also includes a wage increase and no concessions.
The agreement was reached with CUPE, SEIU and Unifor forming a first-ever alliance in the talks.
