The committee met with the new Long Term Care Coordinator, Tammy Martin, to discuss the current state of long term care and the progress of bargaining. Together, with the support of the Human Rights Representative Jenna Brookfield, we updated Tammy on how things are going in the sector and established a new and improved strategic bargaining plan. We set goals regarding the lead table protocol for St. Vincent’s (CUPE 1082), the function of the bargaining committee, and planned future educational workshops for locals.
We understand that consistent communication is of the utmost importance to our fellow members, so we committed to providing more frequent updates. We also plan to hold more virtual and in person meetings so that locals can attend and update each other and the committee on the status of their Essential Service Agreements (ESAs) and local bargaining.
This update is the first of many to come as we strive for improved communication with our fellow members. If you have any questions, please reach out to your local’s president, your Area VP, or your local’s servicing representative.
