In this episode of Shift Happens, Brandi and Darlene break down MNU’s Same Shift, Different Day campaign: why it was needed, how it came to life, and why it’s now resonating beyond Manitoba. They unpack the real issues behind the campaign billboards — workplace violence, mental health and workplace culture, and the strain unsafe conditions place on patient care — and why these realities show up shift after shift. They also share how the campaign sparked a national movement through the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions, and how the public can take action at sameshift.ca.
