Info pickets provide an opportunity for SEIU-West members to send a message to their employer and to the general public, that bargaining needs to progress and SEIU-West members deserve a fair contract!
As the holiday season approaches, many in our community may need a little extra support.

Dear Members,
We want to thank those who were able to come out last week to attend our very successful media event at the Legislature in Regina. It was great to see members from the three Health Care Provider Unions (HPUs) from across the province stand together in solidarity. During Question Period, multiple MLAs asked questions to the Premier and the Minister of Health on our behalf. We were also able to have meetings with the Opposition Caucus and the Minister of Health to address our concerns over the slow pace of bargaining and the state of health care in our province.

HEALTH PROVIDERS COME TO LEGISLATURE TO CALL FOR BETTER WORKPLACES
AND BETTER HEALTH CARE
(REGINA) Saskatchewan’s Health Provider Unions came to the legislature today to call for a new contract. Members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), Service Employees International Union-West (SEIU-WEST), and the Saskatchewan Government & General Employees’ Union (SGEU) gathered on the steps of the legislature to call for a new collective bargaining agreement three years after the previous agreement expired.
Did you know that there are 382 classifications that SEIU-West represents in healthcare?
Some are visible when you walk into a hospital or long-term care, but many are working tireless behind the scenes to provide the public with healthcare.
Connie, a Health Information Management Clerk, works to connect patients' health and data information so that the healthcare team can accurately see the health story of patients.
