Dear valued member:
This week, your bargaining committee met with SAHO on February 5, 6, and 7 to continue negotiations. Despite our relentless efforts to move this process forward without delay, SAHO continues to slow the progress.
We have scheduled a follow-up meeting with SAHO and our counterparts from SEIU-West and SGEU on February 13. This meeting will focus on the pace of bargaining and the need for alternate options at the table.
In the upcoming weeks we will host a bargaining townhall for all our members, so stay tuned for details.

Dear valued member: |
Warmest greetings of this festive season from your bargaining committee and provincial executive.
We wanted to send out a bargaining update to keep our members informed. We just finished three days of bargaining with SAHO. The general tone of bargaining was more positive than past sessions have been, and we were able to reach agreement on some pieces of language.
Congratulations!

Dear valued member:
Your bargaining committee met with SAHO on November 5, 6, and 7. Again, the employer refused to agree to any language that would have resulted in improvements to our members’ work/life balance, predictability of scheduling, and other proposals to improve working conditions.
Meanwhile, the employer continued to push their proposals that would increase their ability to move you around, to disregard seniority, and otherwise make your employment more precarious. This is not something your bargaining committee is willing to accept.
Following the provincial election, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe shared that he received a clear message from the electorate and plans to do things differently. Your executive is working to ensure that change includes a different approach to health care. We will be reaching out to the Premier and the newly appointed Minister of Health Jeremy Cockrill to set up meetings where we will outline our priorities and demand better from their government.
Big thanks to the hundred of health care workers who entered our health care providers week contest. Congratulations to our winners:
- Jillian Canart
- Jasmine Tayapad
- Jennifer McKnight
- Alyssa Riess
- Haidee Vivero
