New contract affects employees at several locations on Vancouver Island and in the Lower Mainland
Vancouver (19 Dec. 2007) - Members of the Health Sciences Association of B.C. (HSABC/NUPGE) have ratified a new collective agreement with CML HealthCare.
The company is a private provider of medical diagnostic testing services. It operates several locations on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland.
The agreement was ratified by a 78% vote. For members in the Lower Mainland, it is a first contract. Earlier this year, these employees joined the existing bargaining unit representing colleagues on Vancouver Island.
Highlights of the agreement include significant wage increases with an emphasis on improving starting wages; increased staffing to alleviate workload, and occupational health and safety committee structures to address long standing safety issues at the Lower Mainland sites. NUPGE
