The third negotiation session between the Public Service Alliance of Canada and MDS Nordion Inc. is scheduled for July 23 and 24, 2007. The first meeting between the parties was held from April 25 to 27, 2007. The second meeting was scheduled from May 8 to 11, 2007, but was cut short due to the employer representatives not having the mandate to deal with the Union’s monetary issues.
The major outstanding issues include wages, benefits, vacation, shift schedules and job security.
Approximately 40 PSAC members work at MDS Nordion Inc. in Vancouver. Nordion produces medical isotopes for worldwide distribution. The collective agreement expired March 31, 2007.
