Health science workers reach tentative agreement with government

Jul 8, 2011 | 1:48 PM

The Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations (SAHO) and the Health Sciences Association of Saskatchewan (HSAS) have reached a tentative agreement.

Wages were the major issue in the dispute, but neither side has released what the deal will entail.

HSAS does indicate that the deal maintains higher wages for senior staff and those with higher levels of education.

The two sides have accused each other of bargaining in bad faith in recent months.

Rotating strikes by the HSAS have meant the cancellation of at least 5,000 appointments and treatments this year.
