Introduction

CFNU Contract Comparison Database

The Contract Comparison Database is a collection of data gathered from affiliates of the
Canadian Federation of Nurses’ Unions (CFNU) and provides valuable information from several other healthcare unions. The following unions are affiliates of the CFNU:

  • British Columbia Nurses’ Union
  • United Nurses of Alberta
  • Saskatchewan Nurses Union
  • Manitoba Nurses' Union
  • Ontario Nurses’ Union
  • New Brunswick Nurses’ Union
  • Nova Scotia Nurses’ Union
  • Prince Edward Island Nurses Union
  • Newfoundland and Labrador Nurses’ Union

Unless otherwise noted, all information is based on a seven and three-quarter length shift (shift lengths vary across the country), rather than a twelve-hour shift. It is understood that nurses across the country work shifts of varying length. For the purpose of this document, to give a relative overview of contract clauses and salaries amongst the affiliates, it is easiest to limit information to the one shift. Also, information has been gathered from collective agreements that the respective affiliates believe best represents their agreements. If more detail is required, please contact the affiliate directly or contact the Manitoba Nurses' Union Researcher.

Information gathered from the Ontario Nurses’ Association (ONA) is based on the hospital sector agreement. The General Duty Registered Nurse salary is negotiated at the Central Table, as are numerous provisions, however, the bulk of negotiations are conducted at the Local level.  

Please be advised that this document is only intended as a guide. Copies of collective agreements are available from the website of most unions. The MNU Researcher can provided copies of most agreements upon request.

A Word of Acknowledgement:

Thank you to the affiliates, non-affiliate nurse unions and health care unions that provided information and expertise throughout the re-development of this valuable resource tool. The project would not have been possible without your assistance.
