Local nurses union calls new collective agreement ‘quite fair’
MEDICINE HAT, AB – After two years of negotiations, there’s finally a sense of relief for local nurses.
Their union voted to ratify a new collective agreement, for which 87 per cent of registered nurses voted in favour.
Local union president Megan Eggins says it’s been a very long process, with negotiations taking two years. The new agreement includes a 4.25 per cent wage increase over four years and improved benefits.
