Ontario Nurses' Association's Day of Action to Protect Long Term Care is today.
Take action and send a message to Premier Ford to protect residents, nurses and health care workers in long term care.
The Ontario Nurses Association has three demands:
1) More full time Registered Nurse positions
2) A COVID fund for self-isolation and lost wages
3) The phasing out of private, for-profit long-term care
To provide safe care, nurses and health care professionals need safe working conditions, so spread the word and take action today.
