Vote set for HSPBA

VANCOUVER—Voting locations and dates have now been set for CUPE members who are part of the Health Sciences Professionals Bargaining Association. CUPE’s Healthcare President’s Council has been fielding many member questions on the tentative agreement, particularly around changes to Grade I and Grade II positions.

“Changes that suspend the definition of General Supervision come into effect on April 1,” says Frank De Waard, CUPE bargaining committee representative and President of CUPE Local 4816. “Funds saved by this change, along with the loss of one vacation day, will help pay for benefit increases that come into effect in 2012.”

De Waard says that the proposal confirming that moving all Grade 1s to Grade 2 is a priority for future negotiations is not guaranteed and is subject to the allocation of sufficient funding. “This could well become an empty promise if funding is not in place,” says De Waard.

CUPE’s Healthcare President’s Council recommends a “No” vote on the tentative agreement. The following ratification dates have been set:
