The CBA Bargaining Committee met for six days over the past two weeks with the Health Employers' Association of BC (HEABC) to begin the process of renewing our collective agreement. 

We have tabled substantial proposal packages related to non-monetary items and health and safety. We have been able to reach agreement on a number of administrative changes to the agreement and are actively working on dozens of other proposals. 

Your desire for fair wages, benefit improvements, and mental health supports remains our focus along with general parity with other health care workers. 

We are scheduled to meet again with HEABC in the first week of April and we will continue to update you as this process unfolds. 

In solidarity, 

Your Community Bargaining Association (CBA) Negotiating Committee
