After another week of talks, your bargaining committee remains very disappointed with the lack of progress being made in negotiations. Eight months into the process, the employer has done little to address key priorities for health science professionals struggling with workload, shortages, and waitlists. The monetary package tabled by the employer fails to recognize or respect the importance of our work.
With this lack of progress your bargaining committee is considering steps we can collectively take to pressure the employer to come to a fair deal. We are still at the table with the employer, but if progress is not made soon, next steps could include a strike vote.
We will have an update for members if there are any new developments at the bargaining table. Please make sure to update your contact information with your local so we can keep you up to date.
In solidarity,
Your CUPE representatives to the HSPBA bargaining committee
