HSPBA Bargaining Update: Third Round of Negotiations

/in

Dear PEA members,

The bargaining committee for the Health Science Professionals Bargaining Association (HSPBA) completed the third round of negotiations with the Health Employers Association of BC (HEABC) May 20-23.

To date, we have tabled more than 50 proposals, each of which is based on specific proposals submitted by HSPBA members. We are working to make progress at both the main table, and in small table discussions focusing on key issue areas.

The HSPBA joint bargaining committee includes representatives from BCGEU, CUPE, HEU, HSA, and PEA covered by the collective agreement. While the economic landscape is challenging, the committee is dedicated to securing the improvements needed to address critical issues like shortages, classifications, fair pay, psychological safety in the workplace, and improved care for patients and clients.

Bargaining is set to resume June 16-20.

Idil Farah
Labour Relations Officer
