Tentative agreement reached for HEU Facilities members: Biggest wage gains in decades, action on workload, more workplace rights
On September 1, the multi-union Facilities Bargaining Association (FBA) and the Health Employers Association of BC (HEABC) reached a tentative agreement covering more than 60,000 health care workers across the province.
HEU’s secretary business manager Meena Brisard says that seven months of negotiations took place against the backdrop of serious staff shortages and COVID-related burnout, along with rising costs not seen in decades.
“Our bargaining committee has negotiated an unprecedented agreement for the unprecedented times we are facing in health care and in the economy.”
