The BCGEU has created a Health Science Professionals Sectoral Council to address the specific concerns of the 2,200 Health Science Professionals working in BC Health Authorities.

We are seeking one delegate from Local 410/411 who is interested in being part of this Council. As this is a new Council, the terms of reference will need to be developed and agreed to.

  • 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.

The Health Science Professionals Chairperson will sit as a member of the Health Services component and attend in person meetings four times a year.

The Union will provide leave to attend the conference, make arrangements for necessary travel and accommodations, as well as cover meals and childcare.
