Ontario's hospitals says they're only seeking fairness for all health care professionals as they work toward a contract with the Ontario Nurses Association.
Both sides are awaiting an arbitrator's ruling on the issues of wages.
President of the Ontario Hospital Association Anthony Dale says the bargaining used is that based on agreements they're already signed with other labour groups.
The Nurse's union argues the hospital association wants to cut wages and benefits on the heels of a two-year wage freeze.
Nurses who work in hospital in the Rainy River district are impacted by the labour negotiations.
