CBA Bargaining Update: Progress on Non-Monetary Bargaining Issues
The community health negotiations team met with the Health Employers’ Association of BC (HEABC) over the last two weeks to discuss key proposals related to mobility within health authorities and ways to make the collective agreement gender neutral and more inclusive for Indigenous and Transgender workers.
We are working to ensure that everyone sees themselves represented in the language of the collective agreement.
Discussions are scheduled to start again May 9 for two weeks. The aim in those two weeks is to conclude all non-monetary talks and move into more substantial negotiations on monetary issues.
The community health negotiations team remains committed to achieving wages which are in line with wages for workers doing the same jobs under the health facilities collective agreement, and which keep up with the rising cost of living.
We’ll keep you updated when we return to the table.
