WHEREAS SUN members face ongoing challenges to the integrity of nursing processes, policies and practices that are in conflict with their ability to meet professional nursing standards and deliver the highest quality of patient care to the people of Saskatchewan.
AND WHEREAS non-traditional collaborative relationships with government, as demonstrated during the 2008-2012 SUN-Government Partnership, have produced positive results in addressing members’ concerns in the past.
AND WHEREAS, the ability of these non-traditional partnerships to deliver concrete and tangible progress for registered nurses, registered nurse-nurse practitioners, and registered psychiatric nurses in terms of their work and practice environment appears to have stalled.
BE IT RESOLVED THAT Saskatchewan Union of Nurses step away from any renewed commitment Partnership Agreement unless discussions produce tangible results, with clear actions by September 2015 that address the concerns of registered nurses, registered nurse-nurse practitioners, and registered psychiatric nurses regarding their work and practice environments.
RESOLUTION CARRIED
