Recently, we’ve identified several key issues that we plan to tackle:

- A salary increase that reflects the current market value for our collective.

- Ensuring that HR promptly informs the board when union representation is requested.

- If residents are asked to take on leadership duties, such as creating schedules or organizing purchases for study materials and clothing, they should be compensated fairly, including an increase in pay for chiefs.

- Updating the pay schedule to align with our start and transition dates of July 1.

- Introducing new provisions regarding termination or leaves of absence.

- Adding language for penalties related to violations of the contract.

The bargaining process thrives on collaboration and requires compromise. While we may not be able to achieve all our goals right away, we can still make meaningful strides over time. It’s crucial for us to understand how these issues have impacted you and your program. Your feedback will help us hone in on what truly matters to all of us. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective—we genuinely appreciate it!
