A tentative agreement has been accepted by a majority of SEIU-West members who participated in the vote.

SEIU West says they have been bargaining with SAHO, the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations, for almost four years.

Union President Barb Cape says, “Doing a vote of this nature during COVID was certainly a new challenge, however, I am satisfied with our democratic process and we will now begin our work to fulfill the direction provided by our members.”

Service Employees International Union West (SEIU-West) represents over 13,000 people across Saskatchewan. They include people who work in health care, education, municipalities, community-based organizations, retirement homes and other sectors.
