The results are in: 92.3% of members who cast a ballot in the CBA strike vote said YES to authorize strike action if necessary, to achieve meaningful improvements to our collective agreement.
This is more than a vote – it’s a powerful statement. Your strong mandate sends a clear message to our employer: we are united, serious, and ready to secure the respect and fairness we deserve. In the coming weeks, we will schedule new bargaining dates and bring this strike mandate to the table to demand a fair agreement on par with other HEABC health care workers.
This strike vote also marks several milestones: the largest turnout the CBA bargaining unit has ever seen, the unification of supportive housing workers under a single collective agreement, and the strongest voice we’ve had in the last 30 years of bargaining.
Thank you to everyone who voted. With this historic strike mandate, our collective voice has never been stronger, and we are committed to securing a fair agreement for all community health workers.
In solidarity,
Your CUPE Representatives to the Community Bargaining Association (CBA) Negotiating Committee
