PrintUNA and Provincial Agreement employers agree to mediation
The United Nurses of Alberta Negotiations Committee and bargaining representatives for employers covered by the UNA Provincial Agreement have mutually agreed to continue negotiations for a new collective agreement with the assistance of Alberta Mediation Services.
The parties have jointly agreed to David Jones as mediator.
While the parties have a significant number of provisions that have not yet been agreed to, both anticipate constructive and positive discussions will continue with the assistance of the respected mediator.
Dates for mediation have been set for May 29-30 and June 17-18 and 23-26, and July 2-4 and 8-10.
In mediation, the mediator arranges meetings with the parties to deal with issues in dispute and works with them to help them reach a collective agreement. The mediator does not have the authority to make any rulings, as an arbitrator would, but does have the authority to make recommendations only.
United Nurses of Alberta represents 30,000 Registered Nurses, Registered Psychiatric Nurses and allied health workers. The employer group includes Alberta Health Services, Covenant Health and smaller employers.
