President's Message
Labour Day: A time to renew solidarity
As fall 2010 approaches, Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) members certainly have our hands full and a greater need for solidarity than ever before.
We have all faced continuing job cuts as health-care facilities look to the front lines to balance the bottom line – 2,400 in the past 18 months alone. Government funding that has failed to keep up with inflation has left our health-care system starved for resources.
