Government Reaches Tentative Agreement with Registered Nurses Union

The Provincial Government has reached a tentative agreement with the Registered Nurses Union to extend its current collective agreement to June 30, 2022. This agreement is subject to ratification by the union members from across the province.

The agreement extends all aspects of the current collective agreement for two years, with the exception of a few specific amendments. These amendments include a salary increase and a reduction to long-term financial liabilities through changes to post-employment benefits for new employees.

The union will be presenting these tentative agreements to membership in the coming weeks, and expects to complete an online ratification process.
