Going on strike?

EDMONTON – DynaLIFE lab employees have overwhelmingly rejected their employer’s “final” offer…

On June 18, 2009, DynaLife Dx tabled its “final” offer to its employees. It includes the following:

  • A wage reopener clause in the 3rd year
  • Best employee concept for lay offs
  • Schedule provided 4 weeks in advance
  • No retention incentive program
  • $500/year for health and education
  • No pension plan

All in all, it was a bull shit offer, and I’m glad that 86% of my co-workers rejected it. The weeks to come will definitely be interesting. Next Mon, DynaLife and the HSAA return to the bargaining table for one final attempt at a collective agreement. Depending on how that goes, the next step will be a strike vote.
