Health care support staff going to ballot box over which union will represent them Breaking News print this article
The Telegram

Health care support workers in central Newfoundland and the Labrador-Grenfell area are gearing up for a vote to decide which union will represent them in the future.
Earlier this year, the province’s Labour Relations Board has decided that health care support staff for each of the four regional health care boards should be consolidated under one union in each region. Unions joined together to fight the decision, but were not successful.
Votes are soon to be held for the Central Regional Health Authority as well as the Labrador Grenfell Health Authority.
In a statement to the media today, Newfoundland and Labrador Association of Public and Private Employees (NAPE) president Carol Furlong says she’s hopeful that the central health workers will decide to have NAPE represent them at the bargaining table.
“The fact that NAPE has a significantly higher number of members with Central Health is very encouraging. This is a reversal of the situation with Western Health, and we are optimistic that NAPE will be successful in winning this vote,” she said in the statement.
NAPE represents nearly twice as many hospital support staff in central Newfoundland, as the Canadian Union of Public and Private Employees (CUPE).
CUPE won the right to represent workers at the western region health board earlier this year.
A vote has not yet been called for workers at Eastern Health.
