Ongoing arbitration hearings for Richmond health care members are set to conclude in late April. These hearings have dealt with a number of grievances the union has filed against the employer for several ongoing scheduling issues and missing hours that many members have been facing. There has been testimony from members throughout these hearings.
After eight days of arbitration hearings, the final arguments will be heard as this edition of Update is being finalized, and as the hearings conclude. Due to the complexity of the grievances and the arguments made by each side, it is unlikely a decision from the arbitrator will be handed down until weeks after the hearings have concluded.
