AMAPCEO is pleased to report that, late last week, an independent, third-party arbitrator arrived at an interest arbitration award for AMAPCEO-represented employees at Public Health Ontario (PHO).
The changes resulting from this arbitration award, as well as items previously agreed to between the AMAPCEO Bargaining Team and the Employer, will be integrated into the existing agreement and will constitute the new PHO Collective Agreement, with a term of April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2025.
Members can find the arbitration award and agreed items, as well as highlights of the new agreement, at amapceo.ca/bargaining/pho.
This was a challenging, extended round of negotiations, but the PHO AMAPCEO Bargaining Team fought for the issues that matter most to members, and saw the process through all the way to arbitration.
AMAPCEO is grateful to Bargaining Team members Maurice Coppin and Sunil Varughese, and staff support, Matthew Hill. On behalf of the Bargaining Team, we would also like to thank all PHO members for your ongoing engagement and support.
In the coming days, AMAPCEO will be hosting meetings for all members at PHO to discuss the new collective agreement, as well as answer any questions you may have. We will also be updating fact sheets on the website to reflect the changes achieved.
We encourage all PHO members to keep your eyes on your inbox and ensure your subscription preferences are up to date.
If you have questions about the arbitration award and agreed items, please contact Matthew Hill at hill@amapceo.on.ca.
