HSA bargaining proposal meetings soon underway to prepare for 2012 community social services contract talks
With the Community Social Services Bargaining Association contract set to expire March 31, 2012, work is already underway to prepare HSAs priorities to the joint bargaining association.
HSA stewards will be calling chapter meetings to be held by November 25, 2011 to discuss bargaining proposals. All HSA members covered by the Community Social Services Bargaining Association collective agreement are urged to attend the chapter meeting. Your negotiating team needs to hear from you.
The Community Social Services Bargaining Association includes nine unions representing about 15,000 workers employed by 220 agencies across British Columbia.
Please watch your union bulletin board, or talk to your chief steward, for information about a chapter meeting to discuss proposals for bargaining.
The B.C. Government and Service Employees' Union (BCGEU) is the lead union in the sector with over 10,000 members. CUPE, HEU, HSA are the next largest followed by USW, UFCW, CSWU, CLAC and BCNU.
