This letter is to give effect to the understanding reached by the Employer and the Institute in negotiations for the renewal of the agreement covering the above specified group.
Accordingly, the parties agree to establish a joint committee comprising equal representation to meet in Winnipeg within ninety (90) days of the signing of the collective agreement for the Health Services Bargaining Unit. The committee will review the issue and develop a FNIHB directive on second on-Standby for the Health Canada Nurses in remote and isolated communities (Type 1 and 2 Communities as defined by CWIS) and for those facilities where there is an ongoing acute medical treatment component and on-call services are provided. Second on-Standby is defined as any other nurse assigned standby duties. The joint committee, as a minimum will establish the criteria, the application and the accountability for inclusion in the branch directive on second on-Standby.
The department will pay the salary of four (4) nurses, one each from the Pacific, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario regions, for one (1) face to face two-day meeting as well as travel time during regular hours of work to get to and from the meeting.
The committee will recommend a FNIHB directive for promulgation, no later than six (6) months after the date of the signing of the collective agreement for the Health Services Bargaining Unit.
This letter is to give effect to the understanding reached by the Employer and the Institute in negotiations for the renewal of the agreement covering the above specified group.
Accordingly, the parties agree to establish a joint committee comprising equal representation to meet within ninety (90) days of the signing of the collective agreement for the Health Services Bargaining Unit. The Committee will, with a view of ensuring consistency of application between regions and zones, develop a departmental policy which will include as a minimum the criteria, application, accountability and principles outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding on employee leave status during or as a result of a critical incident at Health Canada.
The committee will recommend a departmental policy for promulgation, no later than six (6) months after the date of the signing of the collective agreement for the Health Services Bargaining Unit.
This letter is to give effect to the understanding reached by the Employer and the Institute in negotiations for the renewal of the agreement covering the above specified group.
Accordingly, Health Canada agrees to develop a policy on return to work after illness and injury ensuring active and continuous collaboration with Institute Representatives in its development.
The policy will be in effect no later than six months after the date of the signing of the collective agreement for the Health Services Bargaining Unit.
The parties recognize the benefits of sharing information on matters related to safety and health. As such, they propose, in the spirit of consultation, that regular exchanges of information take place.
They also propose that the information be shared via the JOSH at the local level. Where such committees do not exists, the department, in collaboration with the Institute representative as selected by the Institute, will work towards their creation.
Specifically, the exchange of information, while not limited to, would include the following:
A. Incidents:
- vandalism;
- threats;
- assaults;
- break-in and thefts.
B. Safety Concerns.
C. Updates on policies and activities of the Employer and/or departments related to employee safety and health.
The type of information provided, subject to confidentiality and privacy requirements, should include:
A. Specific Incident:
- brief description of the incident;
- where the incident occurred;
- the immediate response;
- follow-up action.
B. Summative statistics (local, regional, national level).
The following reproduces the English version of a memorandum sent by Ian Potter, Assistant Deputy Minister, First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) of Health Canada to FNIHB Regional Directors on 15 January 2002.
In the course of recent contract negotiations with the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada (PIPSC), five Community Workload Increase Systems (CWIS) Type 3 communities have been identified1 where the union reports that the nurses in these health facilities are providing care twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week and are practicing an expanded scope of nursing practice. According to the collective agreement, because these communities are not designated as CWIS Type 1 or 2, the nursing staff will not receive the expanded professional role allowance, or the recruitment or the retention allowances until such time that the employer makes a decision to extend the allowances.
There is a documented process established to allow for full senior management review and decision regarding whether the level of nursing services in a Type 3 community warrants extension of these allowances to nurses working in that facility. To date this process has not been exercised and, as a result, an outstanding union's concern regarding five Type 3 communities remains unresolved.
In order to bring resolution to this issue I propose the following course of action. As a first step, the request for extension of these allowances to the nurses working in the communities in question must be brought to the respective Regional Union Management Consultation Committee (UMCC). The Regional Director, together with the Regional Nursing Officer (RNO), and a representative of PIPSC will review the nursing service requirements of each of the communities identified by the union in Alberta and Ontario. This review will take place within 90 days of the signing of the new agreement. The results of this review and resulting recommendations, will be brought forward by the respective Regional Directors to the next First Nations and Inuit Health Branch (FNIHB) Executive Committee meeting for final decision as per the established Branch process developed in May 2000.
Furthermore, to ensure that all levels of management in the Regions are aware of this established process for review and decision regarding the level of nursing service in a Type 3 community as it relates to the allowances for nurses, I will outline the process in a memorandum to the FNIHB Regional Directors which will be distributed to Regional managers at all levels within 60 days of the signing of the Health Services (HS) agreement.
