There are multiple resources being developed to assist nurses and health care workers respond to COVID-19. Check back for updates.
This MOA is intended to support nurses who would have otherwise had redeployment imposed on them with no formal process or compensation offered. This new MOA builds on previously negotiated MOAs, addresses a number of outstanding issues related to equity and eligibility, and enhances the premiums extended to nurses working in areas of need, who have had their schedules disrupted, or who have been redeployed. It was signed with the employer group on December 1, 2020.
MNU has signed a Memorandum of Agreement and issued a Joint Statement with Shared Health on a number of issues involving PPE use and other important health and safety controls, including access to N95 masks.
We have developed a Q&A document to help answer questions you may have. We encourage members to read through it carefully and contact your union representative or LRO if you still have questions.
On May 1, a public health order restricting all nurses and many other health care staff to working in a single Personal Care Home (PCH) came into effect. MNU has developed a detailed Q and A addressing member questions about this development.
MNU is recommending that members who have had exposure to a patient or coworker who has been confirmed to be positive for COVID-19, submit a claim to the Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba (WCB).
MNU has compiled a list of information, resources and diversions to help nurses safeguard their mental health and wellness in uncertain times.
The Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU) is a strong advocate of nurse and health care worker protections.
