Message to All HIS Members Affected by NSH Decision to Contract Out Services

January 22, 2021

Good Afternoon,

Nova Scotia Health has announced today that they will not be contracting out your scanning and indexing work to Iron Mountain!  We are proud of the work we have done jointly with NSGEU and CUPE NS on your behalf.  This is work we couldn’t have accomplished without your assistance and expertise in the service.

We will continue to work with the Employer to consider internal plans that address the remaining concerns.

You put forward the effort to ensure your voice was heard in the process.  I know you have been under extreme stress and experiencing strong emotions in relation to the uncertainty of not knowing what options would be available to you and caring so deeply of what impact would occur to the work you do with pride to support patient care.

Today we stand in the positive news that contracting out of public work to a private company will not occur!  Thank you for your patience and congratulations to you all!

 In Solidarity,

Bev Strachan

President, CUPE 8920
