Media Release: CUPE health care workers: AIMS payroll system roll-  out an ongoing failure

REGINA: In light of ongoing functionality and payroll issues, CUPE 5430 is demanding a plan to fix the failing AIMS payroll system and ensure health care workers are being properly compensated, as many are missing hundreds of dollars on their paycheques. 

The Administrative Information Management System (AIMS) was designed to manage payroll, scheduling, human resources, and finances for the Saskatchewan Health Authority. The project implementation has been riddled with issues for years: 

  • AIMS was expected to be operational by May 2021. The first roll-out did not take place until November 2022 and was cancelled due to widespread functionality issues. 
  • The cost of the project has ballooned from an expected $86 million to a projected $240 million with no end to the rising price tag in sight. 
  • Since AIMS was recently re-launched, dozens of CUPE health care workers reporting missing hours on their paycheques. 
Media Release: CUPE 5430 launches campaign to demand fair bargaining: online action tool unveiled at member barbeque

REGINA: Today, CUPE 5430 is proud to announce the launch of a new campaign calling for the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Health Authority to end their stalling tactics at the bargaining table.

“Our members work tirelessly to ensure that hospital patients, long-term care residents, and home care clients receive the highest quality care,” said Bashir Jalloh, president of CUPE 5430. “As a union we are deeply concerned about the government’s plan to erode our workplace protections, standardize contracts with the worst terms, and make it easier to contract out and privatize health care. These proposed changes threaten to weaken our health care system and make it harder to retain the skilled workers who provide the care that Saskatchewan families rely on.”

Dear valued member,

I’m reaching out to update you on a recent meeting with the Minister of Health. Last month, your Vice President Linda Renkas and I had to opportunity to meet with the Minister of Health to share concerns about working conditions, the lack of a retention plan for our existing health workers as well as the need for a fair deal at the bargaining table.

While the Minister appeared to express concern about these issue at the time, we have learned that he has since been responding to correspondence from our members who wrote him to highlight their cost-of-living concerns with a self-congratulatory letter than minimizes their concerns and suggests their government has done enough to help our members go by.

Bargaining Information Rallies

“Together for Better”

As you may have heard, we are hosting bargaining information rallies across the province this spring. Held in each region, these rallies are to raise awareness about the cost-of-living challenges we are facing and to gather public support in our fight for a fair deal at the bargaining table.

It is more important than ever that we stand together to send a strong message to the provincial government that we are the backbone of the health system and deserve a fair deal.

 

If you have any questions about the rallies or how you can do your part, please contact your regional office!

Today, we are announcing the location of our next information picket! Please consider joining us to send a message to the provincial government that health workers are done waiting for better working conditions and a fair deal.

We will be sharing more dates soon. Stay tuned!

CUPE 5430 is pleased to announce that after a review by the market supplement committee, a market supplement will be implemented for our members who work as Medical Radiation Technologists. This was a member driven process following a request through the Market Supplement Program under Letter of Understanding (LOU) #19. Their success was in part due to the information and support provided by members in this classification. 

Between CUPE 5430, SGEU, and SEIU-West there are several classifications which are still in the review process, including nuclear medicine technologist, licensed practical nurse, continuing care assistant, and cytotechnologist. If you believe that your classification is facing significant barriers to recruitment, and there are ongoing unfilled vacancies, please review LOU #19 for the criteria and send your request to your regional office. 

After months of work through the market supplement process, CUPE 5430 is pleased to share that after a review by the market supplement committee, a market supplement will be implemented for our Medical Radiation Technologist and Medical Radiation Technologist – Specialty employees.

This recommendation was reviewed by SAHO, the Saskatchewan Health Authority, and CUPE 5430, and the parties have signed a memorandum of understanding agreeing to a market supplement being implemented.
