We have a deal!

Your PIPSC Bargaining Team is pleased to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement with Sunnybrook Hospital. 

During conciliation on Friday, March 19, the PIPSC and Sunnybrook Hospital bargaining teams reached a tentative agreement that we will present to the members for ratification in the coming weeks.  

This was the culmination of months of preparation beginning in 2019, including a bargaining conference, membership survey, multiple meetings of your bargaining team, 5 negotiation sessions with the employer, and a day of conciliation.   

Next steps

Full details of the tentative agreement will be provided in a ratification package, to be distributed by email to SUN-RT members. An information session has been scheduled for April 12, 2021, once the ratification package has been finalized and distributed to the membership. Following the information session, you will be invited to vote electronically on the tentative agreement.  

Please note: Full details of the tentative agreement, information session and voting instructions will be sent to your email address registered with PIPSC. Please check your messages regularly, or update your email address on file if necessary.
