Ontario's decision to appeal the court ruling on Bill 124 shows disrespect for health workers and contributes to the staffing shortage in health care, said Gélinas
The battle against Ontario's Bill 124 continues and NDP health care critic France Gélinas is fighting on the front line.
Bill 124 is the law Ontario passed in 2019 to put a one-per cent per year wage cap on certain public sector wages in Ontario. It meant that nurses, for example, could not negotiate any wage hike higher than one per cent per cent for a three-year period. She said Ford's decision to ignore the court and to appeal the decision is "a slap in the face" for public sector workers.
"It’s now clear that Ford and Jones have always known that Bill 124 was contributing to the staffing crisis in our hospitals. They knew Bill 124 was causing overworked and underpaid health care workers to leave their positions. They just didn’t care," Gélinas continued.
