The Warden for the MRC Pontiac, Ms. Jane Toller, issued the following statement:
“It’s good to see that our medical imaging technicians in Shawville and Mansfield (CLSC) have received their retention bonus. Although it’s not equal to the bonus in Hull and Gatineau, it’s a good start.
At various meetings with Quebec ministers, I conveyed to them that a fair and equitable regional solution was needed. Considering the National Assembly is not sitting, Ministers Sonia Lebel and Christian Dubé heard us and responded to the demands of the Pontiac.
I hope that this measure will allow our medical imaging technicians to stay in the Pontiac and I want them to know that the MRC Pontiac will continue to fight for pay equity with health professionals in Ontario.’’
