Your SUN-RT Bargaining Team is pleased to announce that on May 10, 2024, we reached a tentative agreement with the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.

Since January of this year, your SUN-RT Bargaining Team has been meeting with the Hospital to negotiate the renewal of your collective agreement. We are pleased to now share details of the tentative agreement that we reached with the Hospital on May 10, 2024 to conclude this round of collective bargaining. 

Highlights of this tentative agreement include:

  • 12.5% wage increase over 3 years
  • Improved movement through the wage scale
  • Increased call back premium
  • Increased shift premiums
  • Improved bereavement leave 
  • Improved vacation accrual at 11 years
  • Improved health and welfare benefits
     

This agreement must now be ratified by the SUN-RT Group membership. An electronic vote will be held in order to ratify this agreement.  All regular members in good standing will receive the voting instructions by email. 

The voting will be open from June 6, 2024 at 12:00 PM to June 13 2024 at 12:00 PM. You will receive voting instructions via email.

You will find all the information concerning the tentative agreement below. It is important that you take the time to review everything prior to voting and prior to asking questions to the Bargaining Team.

Please review the attached documents:

A “Yes” vote means: You are accepting all of the changes proposed in the tentative agreement. Non-monetary changes will take place at the date of signing. The Hospital has four pay periods from the completion of their ratification to implement monetary changes (e.g., salary grids).

A “No” vote means: You reject the tentative agreement and instruct the SUN-RT Group Bargaining Team to pursue further negotiations, with a high likelihood of heading to arbitration.

The SUN-RT Bargaining Team believes we accomplished the best deal possible and we unanimously recommend accepting this tentative agreement.
