The head of the Ontario Hospital Association is advocating a need for a freeze on hospital union salaries.
Tom Closson was in Thunder Bay yesterday to speak with Hospital Board Chairs and C.E.O.'s from the northwest.
Closson says a wage freeze bring fairness between union and non-union workers.
"We have 20 per cent of front line staff that are not unionized," says Closson. "You can have a nurse that's non-unionized in an organization and another nurse that is unionized. So in the same organization, you can have some of them that are frozen and some of them that are not."
Closson will be bringing the region's concerns back to the provincial government.
