Greetings,
As you are all aware last year marked the first federal holiday to annually commemorate a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.  You are also most likely aware that this holiday is currently only applicable to federally regulated workplaces.

Benefit level increases by 41% to $85/month/year on a go-forward basis 

IHA Bargaining Update

Your Collective Bargaining Committee and HEABC are currently on hiatus for the summer and will resume negotiations in mid-September.

Bargaining Committees have been working together for many months, with frequent breaks from session in order for HEABC to focus on the other tables also negotiating, our progress has been slow, but steady.
