54.2% of Facilities Bargaining Association (FBA) members voted to ratify the agreement that was reached between the FBA bargaining committee and the Health Employers Association of BC.
The agreement, which covers more than 67,500 Facilities workers across B.C., has a four-year term from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2029, and includes many gains for health care workers including:
📈 A 12% general wage increase over the contract term
💲 $60.5 million in funding toward wage restoration
🔄 A plan to bring long-term care and assisted living workers back into the FBA
👥 More supports for shop stewards
🛡️ Health and safety protections
🤝 Provisions for job sharing and other work-life enhancements
📝 Improvements to provisions and language to better reflect the diversity of our members
Thank you to all FBA members for your contributions. We couldn't have done it without you submitting bargaining proposals, attending meetings, supporting the bargaining committee and voting.
And a big thanks to HEU's Facilities bargaining committee members Landon Beggs, Chena Binns, MJ Brown, Tara Heller, Nikki Kowalchuk, Seema Loodu, Barbara Owen, Maryann Pyne, Monica Thiessen and Jesse Winfrey, for your tireless dedication to all FBA members in bargaining and beyond.
