Your Bargaining Team met again with Managament on July 17 and little progress was made. While the Employer made movement on some issues, such as job postings, they categorically rejected most of our proposals. 

The Doctor’s Clinic has said NO to: 

• Leave of absences for employees who, according to the CDC, are most at-risk for COVID-19

• Hazard Pay: Employer claims that the hazards we face during the pandemic “are the nature of our work”

• New Emergency Preparedness and Response Team: A committee that will ensure we are better prepared for future emergencies

• Easier access to our Long-Term Illness Bank

• 1-to-1 credit for past experience, applied to new hires to aid with recruitment

We are disappointed by Management’s unwillingness to thoughtfully consider these proposals that were designed to create a safer working environment at The Doctor’s Clinic. We will continue to push Managament on these issues while, at the same time, working on our initial economic package. 

Please join your Bargaining Team at our virtual Contract Action Team (CAT) meeting this Friday July 24 @ 6PM! We will provide the latest updates and discuss how we can win a fair contract.
