CapitalCare Bargaining Update #2

We met with your Employer on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, to exchange non-monetary proposals. We provided the Employer with non-monetary proposals from 23 Articles (including Letters of Understanding) while your Employer opened 12 Articles. We are pleased to tell you that our first day at the bargaining table went quite well and your Employer seemed receptive of our proposals.

We were able to sign off 6 Articles and Letters of Understanding that the parties did not open this round. In addition to those, the parties have already signed off on 5 additional articles that had minor housekeeping changes in them. Nevertheless, we are on our way to finding agreement on proposed changes and will work our way through the rest of the non-monetary proposals as bargaining continues.

Our next scheduled bargaining dates are January 17, February 19 and 20, and March 19 and 20.

If you have any questions or comments, please email Jodie Zaplotinsky at jodiez@hsaa.ca.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season!
