NDP call on Houston government to include nurses on medical leave for $10,000 bonus
“. . .
NDP Leader Claudia Chender and NSNDP Health Spokesperson Susan Leblanc wrote a letter to the PC’s asking them to expand the guidelines of eligibility.
The party says the Houston government should do the right thing, particularly if those who are off, worked during the pandemic.
“These are people who have put their own health and well-being on the line to take care of our families and neighbours in some of the worst times during the pandemic and beyond,” said NDP Leader Claudia Chender. “Full-time nurses on medical leave should absolutely receive this benefit. The Premier should not be excluding those who are off because of illness or injury.”
