HSAS: PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

It’s been an extremely busy winter and spring at HSAS and your staff and elected representatives are looking forward to the all too short Saskatchewan summer. I hope that the members of HSAS will enjoy some well deserved vacation this summer and take a break from the day-to-day challenges of your working lives.

HSAS has been very busy over the last months lobbying our new government, advertising our Professions (click on Media Releases on our website at www.hsa-sk.com for more details) and attending to the administration of our Collective Agreement.

We have also lent our support to the Saskatchewan Federation of Labour’s campaign against Bills 5 & 6 and stood ready to assist SUN in their efforts to secure a fair Collective Agreement.

With mandated Essential Services provisions hanging over their heads, the SUN membership gave their bargaining committee a strong strike vote which was vital in order to negotiate the gains which the nurses achieved. We continue to prepare for our bargaining next spring. It is our hope that our members will work with us in our ongoing advocacy work, raising awareness of the Health Sciences professions and the issues we face in the work place.

Best Regards - In Solidarity,
Chris Driol
President of HSAS
