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.
In the meantime, it’s more important than ever to show our unity and determination. We encourage you to wear your “Together for Better” swag in the workplace and share photos on social media using the hashtag #HealthCareHeroesDeserveARaise. Let’s make it clear that we stand strong together for the fair contract we deserve!
We appreciate your continued support and solidarity. As always, we will keep you updated with any new developments.
In solidarity,
Your Bargaining Committee: Bashir Jalloh (President), Linda Renkas (Vice-President), Nancy Black (Recording Secretary), Rhonda Osipoff (Treasurer), Linda Vancuren (R1), Sharon Paul (R2), Helen Head (R3), Arlene Picard (R4), Corinne Sopel (R5), Janice Janzen (staff), Justin Mercier (staff), Craig Thebaud (staff)
