Perth hospital workers to rally over EBA

Nurses and midwives will rally over stalled pay negotiations outside a Perth hospital next week unless private healthcare operator Healthscope comes to the table, unionists say.
Australian Nursing Federation (ANF) WA secretary Mark Olson said staff at Mount Hospital had been left in limbo for the past three months after the operator walked away from EBA (Enterprise Bargaining Agreement) discussions.
Mr Olson said the EBA expired in November and staff had not had a pay rise in 19 months, leaving them about $88 a week worse off than other hospital workers in Perth.
