There are four more weeks of Central Table Bargaining negotiations scheduled.

The Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU), representing 158,000 Canadian nurses and student nurses, has launched a campaign to keep nurses at the initial donor screening as opposed to replacing them with Multi-skilled Workers as suggested by The Canadian Blood Services (CBS).

We have just completed another week of Central Table Bargaining
(January 4-8) with more dates scheduled.  Progress has been slow with a number of employer proposed rollbacks remaining at the local level.

St. Boniface (Local 5) and Public Health (Local 1) have been targeted by their employers with particularly regressive proposals.  These are of great concern to your PCBC.

Following these meetings, the next round of bargaining will take place in early January. More dates are scheduled for late January, February, and March.
