The Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations Inc. (SAHO) and the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses (SUN) have signed a memorandum of agreement on a tentative four-year collective bargaining agreement.
“I am pleased to report that in a relatively short period of time the parties were able to reach an agreement. I don’t recall ever having parties move so far so quickly on fundamental issues. This is a testament to the professionalism and goodwill of both organizations, and I congratulate them on a job very well done,” said Richard Hornung, Special Mediator.
The four-year agreement will be effective April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2018. Details will not be released until after the ratification process has been completed.
SUN represents almost 10,000 registered nurses, registered psychiatric nurses and registered nurse/nurse practitioners across the province.
