Nurses need care too!

There is a global crisis in nursing with understaffing, a lack of respect for family-life issues and, increasingly, problems caused by the climate crisis. Recently Global Nurses United held a conference in San Francisco to discuss what can be done. One of the nurses who attended the conference was Linda Silas, the president of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions. The CFNU has about 250,000 members in Canada. She outlined some of the solutions for the nursing crisis in Canada and around the world. RadioLabour is the international labour movement's radio service.
