Ontario RPNs and Unions

Is anyone else frustrated with the way unions are handling RPNs? The pay difference between the RPN and RN has greatly increased (It used to be $5.00) The RPN's scope of practice has increased tremendously however, the RN's are now making an astonishing $14.00 per hour more. ITS NOT THE EDUCATION LEVEL, RPN's are now educated with a two year diploma as are 80% of RN's in Ontario - so what's up with the exorbitant pay difference?
Is anyone out there lobbying this outrage - I'm sick of unions telling us thatwe are "cost effective" - CHEAP LABOUR with 80% of the skills of an RN.
