Good Samaritan Bargaining Update #3

Your committee last met with the Good Samaritan Society (GSS) on July 22 and 23, 2024. The focus over those two days were the non-monetary items.

In our last bargaining update, we stated the next phase of collective bargaining is the monetary items including wages, benefits and your PDA and Health Spending accounts. We were holding off monetary discussions with the employer until the HSAA/AHS Paramedical collective bargaining concluded so that we would have an idea what settlements had been reached and what the trends in wages would be. 

We had scheduled tentative dates for May 26-27, 2025, and June 23-24, 2025, but have since cancelled them. We are working together to reschedule further dates. We are committed to keeping you updated as we move forward and will notify you once we have dates rescheduled.

Your continued support is appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Jody at jodym@hsaa.ca.

In solidarity,

Your Bargaining Committee
