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!
SEIU-West, SAHO, and the new Saskatchewan Health Authority have reached an agreement with respect to ongoing TOIL (time off in lieu), often a grievance issue.
It is now clear all SEIU-West members under the SAHO collective agreement will be able to bank TOIL if they wish. Scheduling time off remains by mutual agreement. TOIL banks will have a running cap of 100 hours, and banks will be paid out every year in March.
For members currently banking TOIL, the effective date of payout is March, 2019. If a member’s department arrangements currently has no cap or a cap greater than 100 hours, the “better than” remains.
If a member’s department arrangements currently has a cap less than 100 hours, then the cap gets raised to 100 hours, effective right now. If member is denied banking of TOIL, the ability to bank TOIL as per the terms is effective right now. Great work resolving grievances!

Legal Strike Action Continues
SEIU-West members ratified an agreement with Marian Chateau, Bently Yorkton, and Bently Saskatoon! In their new agreement, members were able to negotiate pay raises of 2%, 1.5% and 1.5% over the next three years. Their education and weekend premium rates also increased, their employer will match payroll deducted RRSP of up to 1% of earning starting January 1 2019, and they achieved an additional personal leave day. These members won many non-monetary goals as well, including updated OH&S language and clarification for the employer to provide uniforms. Awesome work SEIU-West!

Women should never have to choose between groceries or menstrual products. Yet for many women in need, those are the choices that often must be made.
