CUPE's Ontario Council of Hospital Unions says their members are experiencing crushing workloads in understaffed hospitals and the situation is taking a toll on their well-being.
Hospital workers are buckling under the pressure of heavy workloads largely brought about by a staffing crisis, an Ontario union said Wednesday as it urged the province to do more to support those working in the health-care system.
A new poll reveals nearly half of hospital staff in Ontario say they “dread going into work” and a similar number contemplate quitting their jobs altogether.
