UPDATE: RPN Tentative Agreement: Where to vote on Thursday, October 18
Health Sciences Association is conducting a ratification vote by HSA's Registered Psychiatric Nurses on the tentative agreement reached between the Nurses' Bargaining Association and HEABC.
HSA's board of directors urges HSA registered psychiatric nurses to vote "no" to the tentative agreement, as it introduces an element of two-tiered benefits, opening the door to an erosion of benefits for all nurses in the future. See the information package here.
RPNs are encouraged to vote at their facility, however, if you are unable to do so, you may vote at any of the locations listed below. All voting takes place Thursday, October 18.
"* For convenience, RPNs in the Lower Mainland also have the option of casting their vote at the HSA office, 300 - 5118 Joyce Street, Vancouver on Wednesday Oct. 17 or Thursday Oct. 18 between 8:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. For building access after 5pm, phone 604.439.0994 x526.
