We met with the Health Employers' Association of BC (HEABC) over the last two weeks to discuss key proposals related to your mobility within health authorities and ways to make your collective agreement gender neutral and more inclusive for Indigenous and Transgender workers. 
We are working to ensure that everyone sees themselves represented in the language of your collective agreement.
 
We are scheduled to meet again starting May 9 for two weeks. Our aim in those two weeks is to conclude all non-monetary talks and move into more substantial negotiations on monetary issues. 
Your Community Health negotiations team remains committed to achieving wages that are in line with wages for workers doing the same jobs under the health facilities collective agreement and that keep up with the rising cost of living.
