Midwives keep winning in the fight to close the gender pay gap.
The Ontario government has lost a second legal appeal, this time with the highest court in the province.

Nurses’ salary capped at 1% x 3 yrs. And yet inflation rate at 6%. It’s no wonder nurses are leaving. Make this make sense @fordnation #RepealBill124 #misogyny #nursingshortage #whowilltakecareofyou

It’s time to #ShowUpForWomen
⭐️ Raise the minimum wage to a living wage
⭐️ Mandate paid sick days for workers
⭐️ Implement the Pay Transparency Act
⭐️ Ensure decent work and pay for all child care workers

This thread is so important.
Thank you, @KingstonHSC.
Take care, Kingston.
Our first 12 days have been a glowing success! We are so delighted by this collaborative and innovative expansion of midwifery services in our community.
KHSC & @MidwivesCMK are pleased to announce a new service for newborns and their parents in #ygk. Staffed by a #midwife 7 days a week, the Well Newborn & Parent Clinic provides time-sensitive follow-up services after discharge from hospital. LEARN MORE: kingstonhsc.ca/khscconnect/n…

I call on Premier Ford to immediately #RepealBill124 to address the urgent nursing crisis. Also, let's utilize the Internationally Educated Nurses we have on ground. No patient should die because of a nursing shortage.

It's almost as if being called "heroes" for two years, yet at the same time having their pay frozen, workload dramatically increased and collective bargaining rights stripped, is resulting in nurses leaving Ontario's workforce.

100% this.
And @MidwivesCMK is doing just this to help @KingstonHSC to care for newly born infants follow-up care. This is the kind of partnerships and innovation that we need right now.
Right about now, I wish @fordnation would turn to regional organizations or Ontario health teams and ask them to lead and innovate to get us through these next few weeks. They have been building partnerships between community +hospitals. We need that right now. #onpoli #onhealth

Many new refugee families are arriving from conflict zones and are in need of gently used clothing and footwear, especially kids. The ISK is collecting donations for these families to be distributed via settlement agencies in Kingston that provide care for the newcomers.

Our health care system is failing #Indigneous people. Change is happening around us through the hard work of Indigenous communities and Indigenous-led organizations such as @CINANurses @IPACIndigenous.
On this #IndigenousPeoplesDay what will you do to be part of this change?
Kingston Midwives retweeted
#Indigenous Midwives play an active role in the protection and strengthening of our families. Our hearts go out to all the communities, families, and individuals mourning.
