B.C. nurses get pay boost in contract extension

The Canadian Press


Excerpts:

VANCOUVER — B.C. nurses will get a six per cent pay increase over the next two years as part of a contract extension negotiated with the provincial government.

The union says it recognizes the need to retain and recruit nurses in the middle of an international nursing shortage.

I think I already answered this same question a few days ago.

Also, if you read the latest post on the great interview to Atty. Carl Shusterman, he also mentioned nurses not being qualified for temporary work visas (he was referring to the all types of H visas).

Atty.  Greg Siskind also mentioned it on a previous blog entry of his (look for his March 12 comment): http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/2009/03/lou-i-love-legal-immigration-dobbs-goes-after-foreign-nurses/comments/page/2/#comments
