Employees at the Saskatchewan Cancer Agency have reached a tentative agreement on a six-year contract with the Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations.
About 700 SCA employees, who belong to the Saskatchewan Government and General Employees Union, still have to ratify the deal. Their previous contract expired in March of 2018.
Staff at two cancer clinics in Regina and Saskatoon — including radiation therapists, pharmacists and registered nurses — are covered by the contract.
“I am sincerely pleased that an agreement has been reached, and that it recognizes how highly we value our cancer care professionals,” Health Minister Paul Merriman said in a media release.
“They provide critical services to Saskatchewan residents, and their work has continued to be exceptional through the challenges of the pandemic.”
