A tentative agreement has been reached between UNA and Salem Manor, covering nurses at Local 194.
Mirroring the provincial settlement, it is a 3 year deal with salary increases of 0, 2% and 4%.
The Letter of Understanding on Market Condition lump sum payments is renewed, and notice of layoff is increased from 14 days to 28 days.
In addition, the agreement was brought up to provincial in some areas where it had previously lagged behind: discipline now to remain on file for one year rather than two years, new hires who have completed refresher course within the last 12 months receive credit for all time worked, even beyond a five year gap.
