The collective agreement for HSA members working in community health services and support is negotiated between employers and the Community Bargaining Association (CBA), which represents members of HSA, the BC General Employees Union (BCGEU), the Hospital Employees Union (HEU), the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), the United Food and Commercial Workers union (UFCW), and the United Steelworkers (USW). The CBA includes more than 1100 HSA members. The large majority of CBA members are represented by the BCGEU, which leads negotiations.

Bargaining Proposal Conference and Negotiating Committee Member

A joint Bargaining Proposal Conference for members covered by the NBA, CBA, and CSS collective agreements was held on October 28-30, 2024.

Negotiations for those contracts are not led by HSA, but by the union with the most members covered by the collective agreement. However, HSA has representation on the bargaining committee to ensure that HSA members’ interests are well represented in contract negotiations.

Nancy Martin was elected to serve on the negotiating committee for CBA members. Martin is an employment placement specialist at Open Door Group in Sechelt and has worked as a general site steward, OHS steward and assistant lead steward.
