Nurses Union Wanted Better Protection

The Ontario Nurses Association is looking for better protection for its members.

It's wants Premier Kathleen Wynne and Health Minister Deb Matthews to work with the union on ways to improve safety of nurses.

It's comes after pleas for extra security went unheeded at a Toronto area hospital before four nurses were assaulted by a patient identified as a potential danger.

The ONA says abuse among nurses has been on the rise in recent years.
