Key Takeaways of the Employer's Final Offer:

• Meaningful wage increases (average of 7% over three years for all wake hours):

  • $0.25 retroactive increase effective April 1, 2025 (wake hours only)

  • $0.77 retroactive increase effective April 1, 2026 (wake and sleep hours)

  • $0.77 additional increase effective April 1, 2027 (wake and sleep hours)

This adds up to a $1.79 increase for wake hours and a $1.54 increase to sleep hours over 3 years

• A wage reopener (ability to reopen negotiations if wage funding is provided)

  • If the province provides new wage funding, there would be a process to negotiate how the funding is distributed -- without the need for a strike

• Important non-monetary improvements that matter to day-to-day work
