CCAC Contract


The Ontario Nurses Association has a new contract with the Northwest Community Care Access Centre.

ONA President Linda Haslam-Stroud says the deal addresses wages, but their members with CCAC remain the lowest paid in the province.

"There has been some normative wage increases," says Haslam-Stroud, "but at least they're equivalent to another northern CCAC at one of the higher levels of the grid. There still a lot of work to do on wages."

Haslam-Stroud hopes to further address the wage issue in provincial negotiations.
