Bargaining Update #4

We had one additional bargaining day, on March 20, since our last update. The employer chose to use March 19 as a prep day instead of meeting with us. Talks are slow but steady.

We signed off an additional two articles for a total of twenty to date. We have several non-monetary articles yet to work through before we move to discussions on wages, benefits and other monetary items. We continue to stand strong on your priorities.

Our next dates are scheduled for April 28 and May 7, 2025. We are looking forward to getting back to the table and are working on securing additional bargaining dates in June however the employer has not yet confirmed their availability.

Thank you for your continued patience and support as we negotiate your collective agreement. If you have any questions or comments, please email Jodie Zaplotinsky at jodiez@hsaa.ca.

In solidarity,
