June is National Indigenous Peoples Month. This is a time to honour the rich history, resilience, and diversity of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. It is an opportunity to reflect on historical and current injustices and commit to true reconciliation in Canada.

Welcome home.

The Saskatchewan government’s extension of the provincial emergency order demonstrates how deeply out of touch they are with the reality facing health care workers, according to CUPE 5430, SEIU-West and SGEU who represent Saskatchewan health care providers around the province.

Happy Family Day, everyone!
If you were to ask 100 people, you would get 100 different answers about what family means. And SEIU-West supports that! No matter what your family looks like—small and nuclear, big and extended, couples, single parents, children, child-free, pet-parents, we love to see it! And remember, our found families are equally as important as those we share genetics with, or those who raised us.

Greetings Sisters and Brothers,
Monetary proposals remain outstanding. On December 17, 2021, a comprehensive package to conclude bargaining was tabled with the employer, which contained improvements to wages and benefits, paid leaves (e.g. sick leave) and a wage schedule with three steps for each job classification. We indicated to the employer that if we are unable to reach an agreement, our next practical course was to apply to the Saskatchewan Labor Relations Board for first collective agreement bargaining assistance. The Employer is to respond.

Greetings Sisters and Brothers,
The parties met on October 19, 20 and 21, via the Zoom Virtual Meeting Platform, and exchanged proposals packages. Additional dates of January 19 and 20, 2022 were agreed to, and the parties met on these dates. A lot of time was spent discussing the wage and wage classification schedule. We were to meet again on February 2 and 3, 2022, however these dates were cancelled, with very short notice by the employer, due to the pending sale of Extendicare’s Esprit holdings to Sienna-Sabre LP.
