A fair distribution of the vacation quota respecting seniority
A fair distribution of the vacation quota respecting seniority
The Union is proud to announce an agreement has been reached to ensure a fair distribution of employee’s vacation selection.
“For the first time since the introduction of Logibec, employees on availability (recall list) will be included on the vacation quota* at the site where they worked the most hours the previous year,” Interim President MUHCEU Manuel Fernandes.
Prior to the agreement, availability employees were on a separate list, which gave them an advantage over more senior employees when selecting their vacation.
The maximum number of employees allowed on vacation in the same period.
Vacation: Housekeeping Department
“The Housekeeping department has confirmed to the Union, that if a member does not receive their first vacation choice by seniority, they will then be asked for their second choice, instead of having to submit a 2nd or 3rd choice on the vacation request form,” Manuel Fernandes Interim President MUHC CSN Union, “The HK department also confirmed that this year the vacation Quota will increase; the number of employees allowed to go on vacation at one time.”

After 30 years of service, why haven’t you pushed for 6 weeks vacation?
and maybe after 40 years of service – you should push for 8 weeks — not too many left here that work here for 40 years !!

Great point Danica.
The amount of vacation is the National Collective Agreement, therefore negotiated for the entire Quebec public health and Social Services employees.
We can’t push because the negotiations are done at the National Level, by the three largest unions in the health care sector. What we can do is make a proposition at the FSSS Council, which would need to be voted on and accepted by the FSSS Council before it is added to the demands.
