Besides hanging on to our negotiated severance pay, what are the issues most concerning to the union team? Beyond severance, what is at stake?
Answer
Key demands that remain outstanding include those related to fair pay, adequate recruitment and retention measures, and the health and safety of both government workers and the public. And of course, the government still wants to take away members’ severance. We also have concerns about the anticipated impacts of the government's implementation of Wellness Yukon, the planned health authority often referred to as "Putting People First".
