HSA to represent Biomedical Engineering Technologists

 The BC Labour Relations Board has ruled that two hundred Biomedical Engineering Technologists working in BC hospitals are appropriately represented by HSA.

This follows a previous ruling by the LRB that designated Biomedical Engineering Technologists as paramedical professionals, but did not resolve the issue of union representation. HSA holds the paramedical professional certification at all of the hospitals where Biomedical Engineering Technologists work.

Biomedical Engineering Technologists maintain specialized hospital equipment at acute care hospitals across the province. HSA will be meeting with HEABC soon to implement the LRBs decision.
