Reorganization of Saskatchewan's Health Labour RelationsThe reorganization of the Saskatchewan health care system into an integrated, decentralized framework has required corresponding changes in the organization of provincial health care labour. The complexity and the problems associated with reorganizing 538 bargaining units led to establishment of a provincial commission to examine the organization of labour relations between health sector employees and employers, and to make regulations reorganizing those relations. This document is the report of that commission. It reviews the intended future vision and structure of the reorganized health system, the labour relations organization before regionalization, the problems with union rivalries and jurisdictional disputes, the commission's process and mandate, and the final reorganization that reduced the 538 bargaining units to 45. Appendices include text of the Health Labour Relations Reorganization Act and the commission's regulations; a list of trade unions and locals; an interim reorganization proposal; commission information bulletins; and a table showing employee representation by trade union, employer, and bargaining unit. |
