ONA reflects the union efforts in recent months and looks ahead as the Provincial government continues to make detrimental decisions that impact Ontario nurses. Interim Provincial President, Bernie Robinson, and First Vice-President, Angela Preocanin, discuss the highlights and low points of the year, their recent experience supporting the CUPE strike in November, the mood of the public and recent updates on Bill 124. Bernie and Angela also unpack why although it's been a challenging year, ONA members should stay optimistic about what's to come.

ATTN: Two days after recording this podcast, the Superior Court released its decision that found Bill 124 to be unconstitutional and the Ford government has announced its intention to appeal the decision.
