Conciliated Talks Underway Between PHSD & ONA

Conciliation talks have begun for nurses with the Sudbury district health unit.

The Ontario Nurses' Association represents 126 registered nurses and two nurse practitioners with Public Health Sudbury and Districts, but three days of negotiations between the two sides failed to lead to a new contract, prompting conciliation talks which started yesterday.

The ONA is citing the ongoing pandemic for its stance in talks, saying the nurses have been "working full-out...and are both exhausted and feeling unappreciated".
