The Canadian Federation of Nurses' Unions has developed a cross country comparison of wages and benefits for unionized nurses across Canada. This comparison includes nurses in the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and the Yukon as well as all 10 provinces. You can tell at a glance how your wages, vacation entitlement, statutory holiday bank, sick time, continuing education and shift differentials and many others compare to your fellow nurses. The comparison is updated regularly as contracts are renegotiated and is easily accessed at: http://www.nursesunions.ca/media.php?mid=335
As you can see, the file is a pdf. so you'll need Acrobat to view it.

That is very interesting. Especially with the Clinical specialist nurses I am considering doing that. Looks that they make about the same as a practitioner.

It feels soooooo good to get back to working again. I feel like a normal human

I danced with Linda Silas at the BCNU convention. She's awesome.

I met her at the Manitoba Nurses' Union AGM in 2005; it was their 30th anniversary and I was there as a guest of the president, Maureen Hancharyk. Linda impressed me as someone who truly understood the global condition of nursing in Canada.

As an aside, the Mantiboa Nurses' Union will taking a strike vote on March 10. Their last strike vote was held in the spring of 2002, with the members voting overwhelmingly to strike. Their negotiations were resolved at the 11th hour without having to take the final step. I wish them the same success this time around.

Thanks for this....

We recently underwent a review (not good for us) and really needed some data to back us up.

Cheers!
