Please click here to review the open letter from the SH Group bargaining team to MP Chrystia Freeland regarding concerns over federal health care funding following the 2024 federal budget announcement. The letter highlights the critical role of over 4,400 dedicated federal health professionals and the lack of clarity on compensation and working conditions since their last contract expired 1.5 years ago, and emphasizes the need for recognition and support for federal health services. The Liberal government is urged to prioritize federal healthcare funding, address pay discrepancies between federal and provincial health care workers, and ensure fair compensation, improved working conditions, and support for recruitment and retention efforts.
