MGEU members of Churchill Health Centre (Local 134) ratified a new five-year contract yesterday.
Highlights of the new agreement (effective April 1, 2012 - March 31, 2017) include a 2.5% increase in 2014, 2.5% in 2015, and 2% in 2016, a new long-service step, slight increases to shift premiums, and improvements to vacation travel assistance.
There is also a new isolation/remoteness retention allowance in the amount of $9,000 annually for Prof/Tech classifications and a $1,000 annual Northern Isolation/Remoteness allowance (effective 2017) for all other classifications.
While the bargaining committee and the employer get the agreement finalized and signed so it can be printed and distributed to members, everyone in the Local is encouraged to update their contact information here.
