Alberta paramedics, other health professionals to vote on mediated agreement

Nov 14, 2025 | 4:54 PM

Some 22,000 Alberta health and medical workers, including paramedics, are set to vote on a new mediator recommended contract after bargaining resumed this week.

The Health Sciences Association of Alberta says the mediator’s recommendations are based on a previous tentative agreement that workers rejected in September, though a number of changes are on the table.

The deal would see union members get 12 per cent wage increases over four years, but many types of workers would see one-time wage increases on top of that based on market comparisons.

The Health Sciences Association of Alberta says the vote will start next Thursday, with results expected on Nov. 25.

Finance Minister Nate Horner says he’s looking forward to seeing the results and that he appreciates work done by the union and Alberta Health Services to get to this point.
