About the FBA collective agreement
The Health Services and Support - Facilities subsector Collective Agreement covers approximately 46,000 health care support workers in British Columbia. The Hospital Employees’ Union (HEU), the British Columbia Provincial Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) and the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) represent the employees in the Facilities subsector.
This diverse bargaining unit includes care aides, licensed practical nurses, food service workers, cleaners, lab assistants and nursing unit assistants. The most populated classifications are care aides and licensed practical nurses.
Status
HEABC members and the unions represented in the Facilities Bargaining Association have voted in favour of ratifying the tentative agreement that was reached between the two parties on November 25, 2012.
