Benefits

A complete list of member benefits is listed below for your consideration.

Professional Representation

HSAA's primary responsibility is to be available when members need its services. The members' main contact with their union is the Labour Relations Officer (LRO). LROs have many years of training and experience to deal with contract interpretation and resolving workplace conflicts. This involves processing grievances and arbitrations. LROs are located in Edmonton and Calgary and can quickly travel to any part of the province to deal with local issues.

We have trained professionals who will help you in the following:

  • Resolving issues with your employer - this may range from minor disputes with your supervisor to dealing with disciplinary actions including dismissal
  • Handling disability claims
  • Dealing with occupational health and safety issues

Occupational Health & Safety

HSAA has an occupational health and safety (OH&S) officer who helps members make their workplaces healthy and safe.  Joanne Monro deals with issues such as making OH&S committees more effective and organizing workshops for members on occupational health and safety committees.

Disability Advocacy

HSAA has two staff members who devote significant time in workers' compensation claims and disability issues.  Doug Fischer and Liz Thompson have extensive experience in dealing with members who have been injured and disabled.  They are strong advocates for disabled health care employees who will make every effort to ensure disability claims are handled efficiently and effectively.

Members' Assistance Fund

The purpose of this fund is to provide members with monetary assistance when circumstances of an emergent nature arise in which financial assistance is necessary on a one-time basis. For example, acts of nature resulting in the destruction of home and personal belongings.

Workshops

Includes workshops for members throughout the year as well as seminars of specific interest to local unit executive members.
