My wife is in that union. Its actually the union members voting against the negotiated tentative deal with the Government and the union that the union recommended they accept. Essentially a 60-40 split with 78% of the members voting.
Being Healthcare they will be deemed essential and legislated back to work.
I know that HSAA encompasses more disciplines than it used to. My wife is a Pharmacy Tech...that was one of the groups that used to have a different union. From her claims they are one group thst the government didnt want to give that kind of increase to. Supposedly there were offers for better increases for some groups and less for others. But the union wanted the same deal for all of them.
