The future of our sick leave - Season IV – June, 2017

The Executive of Health Canada NCR Branch presents:

“Holland Cross Debates/Discussions” - Special Edition

The “Holland Cross Debates” sessions are intended to offer an open discussion with some PIPSC officials about key issues in the collective bargaining and other career related issues. It is one thing to get the views of the local audience at each Debate, but the “Holland Cross Debates” are also keen to find out what the rest of PIPSC members think about the issues we raise.

The Bargaining Team is pleased to announce that on June 21, 2017 we reached a tentative agreement with Management to renew the collective agreement.

Over the last few weeks we have continued to explore a narrowed-down set of bargaining priorities in hopes of coming to an agreement in a timely manner. The deal we’ve agreed to builds off what we presented you a few weeks ago. It includes administrative changes to maternity leave provisions, as well as a 1.25% economic increase effective June 20th 2017. It will also result in a new expiry date of June 19th, 2018.

Hello everyone,

Since joining PIPSC's Social Health Group Executive as the Social Work representative a few months ago, I have now attended two SH group meetings and more recently, the AGM on 10 June in Ottawa.

This initiation period has been a whirlwind of learning. I am very glad to report that I am not only amongst friends with our colleagues from the other 8 professional groups that form our executive, but also amongst highly skilled, dedicated and hard working people who truly have all of our best interests to heart.
