Green Acres workers to vote on new contract
The new contracts would include increases to wages, health benefit premiums, shift differentials, preceptor pay, charge pay, and callback pay.
Bayshore Home Care allegedly refuses to do more than just surface bargaining and has been offering higher wages to non-unionized workers.
They have also asked for market adjustments, long service adjustments, increases to shift premiums, and a reduction in health benefit premiums.
Workers in technical services rejected the agreement, but those in finance and clerical positions approved it.
These workers are employed by Associated Ambulance & Services (Whitecourt) Ltd. and could see improvements to wages and benefits.
The new collective agreement includes wage increases, preceptor pay, professional development leave, and improved domestic violence leave.
If successful, this application would apply to 7 workers.
They ratified the new collective agreement last year, but it showed up in the provincial database just last month.
They have been waiting for a year and a half for a new contract, and this one has wage increases, health benefit improvements, and changes to leave of absences.
The tentative agreement includes a 12% raise over 4 years, increased personal days and flex spending account, and a new long-service premium.
