COVID-19 has plagued thousands of healthcare and long-term healthcare workers, and with the arrival of a vaccine in North America, it is the first small glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel.

Employers and unions have been scrambling to maintain their levels of productivity while taking steps to ensure the safety of all parties involved.

These negotiations, which are now conducted remotely, have resulted in significant backlash from employees refusing to go to work and challenging employers for more benefits and further compensation.
