Welcome to our Community Health bargaining hub!

Thanks to your incredible solidarity and historic strike vote, we’ve reached a tentative agreement with the Health Employers’ Association of BC (HEABC). Here’s everything you need to know. 

Our ratification vote opens on March 13 @ 12 P.M. (NOON) and closes March 20 @ 12 P.M. (NOON). We’re committed to ensuring that you have all the information you need to cast your vote. Please watch your email and keep checking the FAQ section of this bargaining hub for updates on the ratification voting process and scroll down for other helpful resources. 

What’s in the deal?

To view all the newly negotiated language, as it will appear in our new contract if we vote to ratify the tentative agreement, please review “the greens.”

What wage increase do I get if we ratify?
