Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions

Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions The official page of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU). Patients and nurses need effective advocates.

We make sure that the Prime Minister, the Minister of Health, other MPs and top-levels bureaucrats know what nurses think. We also serve as an information resource - keeping nurses abreast of the issues, creative strategies, tactics, and the lessons learned is an important part of our job.

Thank you, Noah Wyle, for using his platform to call for a tax credit for health care workers!

We are pushing for the same thing right here at home. Nearly 20,000 Canadians have already signed our parliamentary petition asking the federal government to give nurses a tax break.

Les infirmier(ère)s praticien(ne)s comblent des lacunes critiques dans le système de soins de santé, et élargir l’accès à ces derniers fait partie de la solution. Toutefois, nous avons également besoin d’investissements soutenus dans les soins de santé publics, d’une meilleure dotation en personnel et de mesures concrètes pour améliorer l’accès aux soins de santé dès maintenant.

Nurse practitioners are a growing workforce working to fill critical gaps in the health care system, and expanding access to nurse practitioners is part of the solution. But we also need sustained investment in public health care, better staffing, and real action to improve access to health care now.

Un hôpital est l’endroit où les plus vulnérables, les malades et les blessés, se retrouvent en temps de guerre. Les travailleurs de la santé et les installations médicales ne devraient jamais être attaqués pendant les conflits armés. En tant que leader international, le Canada doit prendre des mesures pour maintenir cette protection essentielle.

A hospital is where the most vulnerable, the sick and injured, gather in times of war. Health care workers and medical facilities should never be attacked during armed conflicts. As international leaders, Canada must take action to uphold this critical protection.

En matière de violence, la prévention est essentielle. La FCSII demande aux gouvernements provinciaux et territoriaux d’utiliser tous les outils à leur disposition pour mettre fin à la violence contre les travailleurs de la santé. Ensemble, nous réclamons une infrastructure de prévention de la violence, des investissements dans des programmes de formation et de prévention, et une meilleure application des lois existantes.

When it comes to violence, prevention is the key. CFNU is pushing provincial and territorial governments to use every tool at their disposal to put an end to violence against health care workers. Together, we’re calling for violence prevention infrastructure, investments into training and prevention programs, and better enforcement of existing laws.

From the fight back against two-tier health care to the importance of pandemic preparedness, nurses used their voices to speak up for patients, public health care, and workers across Canada at this week’s Canadian Labour Congress. Together, union workers are building a better future for all.
