SEIU-West is celebrating our latest win of the week! A member worked overtime and yet their health care employer incorrectly paid this member at regular time. Your union ensured this member was paid fairly by meeting with the employer, and the member's right to an overtime wage under the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) was enforced. Thanks to the efforts of working together to ensure your contract language is followed, SEIU-West wins again!
Date: August 22, 2018
Location: Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan
Greetings Sisters and Brothers:
As you are likely aware, the membership rejected the Tentative CBA that was put forward to you by your bargaining committee on July 25, 2018. Subsequent to that SEIU-West informed the employer that we would be having a strike vote on August 2nd 2018.

Saskatoon – On Tuesday, August 21, members of the SEIU-West Young Workers Committee (YWC) are holding a “memorial service” for our public services at Kinsmen Park in Saskatoon to demonstrate the high level of cuts and public service closures in Saskatchewan.
This week SEIU-West celebrates a great win in the Community Based Organization (CBO) sector! A serious incident occurred to one of our members at work. This led to them completing an incident report. The employer subsequently altered the incident report and sent it to the specific organization that deals with such reports. Our member advised the Union that the report had been altered, therefore, the Union sent an email advising the employer that they cannot alter incident reports and insisted the employer send in the original incident report. The employer has now undertaken to submit the original report and ensured that this will not occur again in the future!

Send your pictures and your pit crew name to [email protected] by August 21, 2018 for a chance to win!
SEIU-West is celebrating a huge win in the health care sector! Our union filed a grievance a few years ago as an employer would not accommodate our member. The employer thought they could wait for an open position for the accommodation, yet this severely impacted the member. Thanks to the hard work of this member and their union, the matter was settled under a Human Rights Complaint which resulted in a generous compensation for our member.
