Regional NBA Bargaining Strategy Conference

Register here.

In preparation for bargaining, BCNU invites members covered under the Nurses? Bargaining Association (NBA) collective agreement to attend this one-day meeting taking place in your region.

Led by Cody Hedman, BCNU?s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Negotiator for the NBA, regional bargaining conferences are another opportunity for members to identify top bargaining priorities, and to discuss a variety of bargaining related topics including the potential need for coordinated job action to support the negotiation of the identified bargaining priorities. Members will also hear more about the current bargaining climate and the process of bargaining.

Other meeting objectives include the selection of delegates and alternate delegates to the Provincial Bargaining Conference, and the nomination and election of candidates from your region to run for positions on the NBA Bargaining and Provincial Job Action Committees.

Please note that as per Article 7.04 of the BCNU Constitution & Bylaws, at least one (1) member will be allowed to attend the regional bargaining conference from each worksite.

Lunch will be provided.

IMPORTANT: these regional bargaining conferences will be offered as a hybrid of in-person and virtual. However, considering the fluidity of the pandemic situation, should circumstances and/or the PHO orders change, these meetings will be converted to 100% virtual. Members will be notified of any changes as far in advance as possible.

Please also note that for the safety of members attending this event in-person, all applicable PHO and venue related COVID-19 pandemic safety measures will be followed, including the PHO requirement to show proof of vaccination to gain access to the venue (effective September 13, 2021 onwards). Members confirmed to attend a regional bargaining conference in-person will be notified in advance about all applicable COVID-19 safety measures, including the vaccination status requirements.
