The Canadian Hearing Society is pleased to announce that a renewal collective agreement has been ratified by members of CUPE 2073, the local representing CHS’s unionized employees.

“The Canadian Hearing Society is pleased that we have achieved a renewal collective agreement with CUPE Local 2073. The bargaining teams for both the union and CHS worked hard to reach this deal,” said Julia Dumanian, President and CEO, Canadian Hearing Society.

“The organization’s goal has always been to achieve a collective agreement that meets the interests of both its employees and the organization for the long term, while continuing to provide the much-needed services and programs for the clients it serves. We believe this agreement achieves these goals.”

The agreement includes retroactive wage increases and a short-term disability program that provides all CHS employees with income protection in the event of an unforeseen injury or illness.

Full service resumed today after workers have been on the picket lines since early March.
