PeaceHealth Saint John Tech Bargaining Update #03
MANAGEMENT FALLS SHORT AT THE TABLE
Management continues to propose takeaways and say NO to our priorities including:
❌ Taking away evening and night shift differential from a large number of our members.
❌ Taking away double time for working more than 4 hours past your shift.
Management continues to say NO to our priorities:
❌ NO to controlling costs and plan design for health insurance. In fact, they are proposing that we get what everyone else gets without say or ability to fight back.
❌ NO to time and a half for working on a day off.
❌ NO to weekend differential.
❌ NO to removing longevity steps so members receive a step increase each year.
