<\/a>Vote to choose our employer!<\/span><\/h1>\n

Elections offer healthcare professionals a unique opportunity that should not be underestimated: the chance to vote for their employer! We often forget, but public service employees vote for their employer every four years: this is how they can influence who their boss is. We spend far too much time at work to ignore our influence. We must therefore ask important questions during the election campaign.<\/p>\n

The vote result will determine who we will negotiate with in the next round of negotiations. That\u2019s significant! Depending on their approach, some governments choose a stance of opposition and bad faith, while others want to work together to find solutions. Who do we want to negotiate our next work contract with?<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””].\"\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=”sky”]The government is an employer and legislator<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a status that comes with numerous privileges: setting lower occupational health and safety standards, passing special laws to enforce working conditions and end strikes in the public sector (even though this practice will most likely be judged as unconstitutional afterwards), and the list goes on![\/vc_message][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The election campaign (and the many promises made) provide valuable information about the next government\u2019s intentions. Each party platform includes a vision for the economy and healthcare priorities. Will the announced commitments really lighten our workload, make it possible to implement ratios and provide a strong public network with an accessible front line?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We can go and meet the candidates in our regions, ask them about the issues we care about to influence their platform on health care. Who will truly listen to healthcare professionals\u2019 demands?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voting for our employer is serious power that we shouldn\u2019t take lightly![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
