Highlights of the 2020 – 2025 Acute Care Nursing Tentative Agreement
|
| Background | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The collective agreement for the Nova Scotia Council of Nursing Unions expired on October 31, 2020. Face-to-face bargaining with representatives of the IWK Health Centre, Nova Scotia Health, and the Department of Health and Wellness commenced in January 2023. The parties engaged in Interest Based Negotiations for 27 days, followed by 2 days of traditional bargaining.
This is the first time in Nova Scotia where health care employers and unions have used Interest Based Negotiations to bargain a renewed collective agreement. Interest Based Negotiations focuses discussions on shared issues and interests. This allows for an in-depth examination of root causes, with an emphasis on generating solutions that both sides have ownership over. The overall process is more collaborative and ensures decision-makers from all sides are involved along the way.
Talks reached an impasse on June 28, 2023, and the parties applied for conciliation. Conciliation took place on July 20, 2023. Following discussions facilitated by the Department of Labour, Skills and Immigration’s appointed Conciliation Officer, the Provincial Negotiating Committee is now in a position where it is recommending acceptance of a Tentative Agreement with highlights outlined below. Voting on ratification of the tentative agreement is as follows for CUPE 8920 members:
