Steelworkers Join Hamilton Nurses' Rally
On December 7 members of United Steelworkers (USW) Local 1005 joined members of the Ontario Nurses' Association in an information picket outside the Hamilton Health Sciences hospital.
The
nurses are standing up to protect patient safety in opposition to the
move by the hospital to replace nurses working as scrub nurses in the
operating rooms with unregulated Operating Room Assistants (ORAs) who
do not have the same specialized training. The nurses point out that
all members of the health care team play an important role but there
should be no cuts to the number of nurses in operating rooms.
