Your CBA bargaining committee met again with the Health Employers Association of BC (HEABC) from February 2-6. During this week, we came close to completing the non-monetary portion of negotiations. There are a few outstanding items to address, including improvements to the occupational health and safety language, clarification on scheduling, and improvements to the overtime language.
We continue to make sufficient progress, and we have one additional week of negotiations scheduled for February 17–20. Our plan for that week is to conclude the non-monetary items and begin bargaining the monetary issues.
Your continued support is what keeps us moving forward at the table. Stay engaged, stay connected, and watch for an update after the next week of negotiations.
In solidarity,
Your CUPE representatives to the CBA Bargaining Committee
