Nurses crammed the steps of the Manitoba Legislature and brought along a cheeky slogan to try to capture the attention of a provincial government they say is excluding them.

“Same shift, different day,” hundreds of nurses chanted in unison Wednesday afternoon, while carrying signs relaying the same slogan but with the letter “f” in “shift” crossed out.

Darlene Jackson, president of the Manitoba Nurses Union, said the sassy slogan was crafted with one audience in mind.
