Healthcare Staff at Odds with Government Over Surgical Masks
Fredericton, NB – CUPE Local 1252, representing over 12,000 members in the NB Healthcare system, is appalled by the diminutions of personal protective equipment (PPE) allocation for healthcare staff.
“From day one the staff have all had access to Level 3 surgical masks to provide a maximum layer of protection just below the N95. However, Horizon recently downgraded that requirement to a Level 1, and that is simply wrong,” said Norma Robinson, President of CUPE Local 1252.

NBCHU CUPE Local 1252 Bargaining Update October 2020
NBCHU CUPE Local 1252 Bargaining Update
In February 2020, your bargaining team walked away from the table and applied for the
next steps in bargaining which was Conciliation. What this means is the parties meet
with a third party to mediate between the two to attempt to achieve a tentative
agreement. There were dates considered shortly after we walked away from the table,
but when the state of emergency was called in March 2020 due to Covid-19, this put
bargaining in a holding pattern until the government was able to resume services face to
face. The two bargaining teams met for four days this month to review all outstanding
proposals with the conciliator and to determine dates moving forward. We have dates
set in early December to continue with our discussions. There were no dates in
November due to all parties not having availability in their calendars. We continue to be
committed to the mandate of our membership and will continue the course as directed.
In Solidarity
Your Bargaining Team

Testimonials
I have been with Higgins Insurance for about 5 years now, wish I had of switched over sooner. Not only are the prices great but the service is incredible. One person in particular, Bob Keays, always seems to find the good in people and has a way of making everyone he meets feel that they are special. Bob makes this world a better place to be just by having such a positive outlook on life. If only all Insurance agents could be this incredible. I certainly lucked out when I joined Higgins.
