A Health Science Professionals Sectoral Council was created by the BCGEU back in 2019, to address the specific concerns of the 2,700 Health Science Professionals working in BC Health Authorities.
 
We are seeking one delegate from Local 401 who is interested in being part of this Council for a three-year term. Some of the duties of the delegates to this Council will include:

  • Receive reports from staff assigned on negotiations and labour management issues concerning the sector and will make recommendations to the President's office on appointment of labour management representatives where appropriate.
  • Discuss key issues concerning the sector, including strategy on negotiations, labour management, and organizing. 
  • The Council will raise issues arising from the Health Services Professionals Bargaining Association (HSPBA) Collective Agreement to the Health Services component.
  • The council will work with the Health Services Component to represent the issues/interests of the Health Science Professionals. 

At the first meeting of the new Council on June 22, 2022 the following were elected from among the delegates: Binny Sivia, Chairperson; Cayce Laviolette, Vice Chairperson; Nicole Lockie, Recording Secretary; and Andrea McLeod, Alternate Recording Secretary.
 
The Health Science Professionals Chairperson will sit as a member of the Health Services component and attend in person meetings four times a year.
