LATEST BARGAINING NEWS

The St. Amant Inc. (Support) - Local 92 Bargaining Committee is scheduled to continue negotiations with the employer on February 24, 2023. Further dates are scheduled for March 1, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17, 22 and 24, 2023.

Overview of Bargaining So Far

The St. Amant Support Bargaining Committee held meetings to gather ideas and proposals for improving the collective agreement on Wednesday, March 15, 2017.

The Committee then reviewed these proposals and worked to put them together into a package to present to the employer.

As of December 31, 2017, even though HCSS collective agreements had expired and the St. Amant Support - Local 92 Bargaining Committee was ready and eager to get going, negotiations had not begun. Employers were unwilling to schedule bargaining dates.

One issue was that the government said they wanted HCSS workers in each region to be covered by one union and one collective agreement — but they did not tell the unions or the employers exactly how this will happen, or when.

Once the votes were finally over with, members of St. Amant Inc. (Support) - Local 92 had an opportunity to once again put forward their ideas and proposals for improving their collective agreement at meetings held on June 23 and 24, 2019. 

However, a number of factors continued to prevent negotiations from starting, including the government’s wage freeze legislation and the global pandemic. With so much time having passed, the Bargaining Committee gave members another opportunity to share their thoughts and ideas about how to improve the collective agreement. The deadline for submitting proposals was Friday, October 30, 2021.  

The St. Amant Inc. (Support) - Local 92 Bargaining Committee then worked to pull together the bargaining package and update Essential Service Agreements. 

The St. Amant Inc. (Support) - Local 92 Bargaining Committee began negotiations with the employer on January 11, 2023.
