• Effective October 23, 2022, the seniority lists from each former regional health authority, identified in Appendix I of the CUPE collective agreement, were consolidated into a single seniority list for the CUPE bargaining unit.

• In order to rank employees across the bargaining unit, all employees are ranked by their seniority date.

• For employees employed prior to May 6, 1999, who were ranked in order of seniority calculated on hours of seniority from the date the employee last entered the service of the employer(s), those hours were converted to a seniority date to ensure those employees are correctly ranked on the new seniority list. Your seniority date may be different than your hire date.

• The new seniority list is available through MyConnection now.

• Please contact your regional CUPE Local 5430 office if you have questions or concerns about the seniority list. Please have all the information you will provide to the office ready, so they can look into your issue (hire date, hours worked prior to May 6, 1999, etc).

Almost 200 health care workers from across Saskatchewan gathered in Prince Albert for CUPE 5430’s annual general meeting.

“Health care providers are facing extraordinary challenges in Saskatchewan: short staffing, inflation, retention and quality of care just to name a few,” said Bashir Jalloh, president of CUPE 5430 and a nuclear medicine technologist.  “Members are being run off their feet because there is simply not enough staff.  We have seen bed closures, emergency room closures and service disruptions.”

Dear CUPE Local 5430 member:

We have been receiving a lot of questions from the membership regarding this holiday. And, to be honest, we spent a bit of time absolutely sure that it is a statutory holiday and that Article 28.01 of our collective agreement applies. Late in the day on Wednesday, September 14^th the employer sent us a letter telling us the employer will not be honouring the day as a paid holiday.

They told us that Monday will be a regular working day for all employees of the SHA and that, “Employees are asked to recognize the significance of (the Queen’s) legacy and passing in their own ways, as they feel appropriate.”
