Health care workers at the Grand River Hospital will stage a rally today outside the hospital in an effort to get hospital officials back to the bargaining table.

President of Unifor local 1106, Bill McLachlan, says “The CEO of the Grand River Hospital has had a salary increase of over 20 per cent in the last seven years while our members have not had a wage increase since 2011. Our members want to negotiate a fair collective agreement not arbitrate one.”

The rally is set for 11:30 this morning at the corner of Park and Green.
