Hospitals refuse to bargain at a common
table with CUPE, SEIU and Unifor.
The Ontario Hospital Association has refused to bargain with
CUPE, SEIU and Unifor at a common bargaining table. The 3
unions had agreed to bargain together.
The hospitals say they want to address particular language in the
collective agreements of the unions.
We interpret this as code for concession demands.
Despite the position of the hospitals, reps from each union will
be at each others bargaining tables (CUPE starts first, Nov. 20 ).
If concession demands are forthcoming, stand by for a request
for a more militant than usual push back for a collective
agreement without concessions and with real wage and other
improvements
