NORTH BAY, ON — A poll of North Bay Regional Health Centre (NBRHC) staff conducted earlier this week shows “staggeringly high rates of workplace violence with virtually no resolve from the hospital,” said Michael Hurley president of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU) that commissioned the poll.
What’s more said Hurley at a media conference to release the poll findings, “it’s a grim and concerning reality that despite the fact incidents are happening almost daily, workers fear reprisal and incidents are under-reported”.
