Health-care workers demonstrated in front of Hamilton General Hospital on Thursday afternoon to call for more hospital employees to be included in the Province of Ontario’s pandemic pay increase.
Drivers passing by the corner of Barton Street and Victoria Avenue honked their horns as Hamilton Health Sciences employees called on the Ford government to expand the list of who receives the extra $4 per hour salary increase.
The demonstration was held during a shift change at the hospital, and coincided with similar actions taken by other Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) members at hospitals and long-term care homes across the province.
