PrintNurses at Carewest Garrison Green and Carewest George Boyack vote to join UNA
United Nurses of Alberta welcomes Registered Nurses employed at Carewest Garrison Green and Carewest George Boyack in Calgary to our union.
Nurses at the worksites recent voted to join UNA and the results of the votes have been certified by the Alberta Labour Relations Board.
As soon as possible, UNA will meet with the new members and negotiate a first collective agreement for these nurses, who before the vote worked without representation by a union. UNA members employed at Carewest Garrison Green and Carewest George Boyack have not yet been assigned a UNA Local number.
UNA already represents Registered Nurses and Registered Psychiatric Nurses employed at Carewest Colonel Belcher, Carewest Rouleau Manor and Carewest Signal Pointe (Local 221), Carewest Sarcee and Carewest Beddington (Local 423), Carewest Glenmore Park (Local 424), and Carewest Dr. Vernon Fanning (Local 428).
UNA thanks the nurses who led the organizing of these worksites for their hard work and determination in this process.
UNA provides a wide range of services to its members. A key role is negotiating the excellent collective agreements that regulate salaries, benefits, schedules and working conditions of members. UNA also administers its agreements to resolve disputes, improve working conditions and protect nurses’ workplace rights.
