Public Services Association (PSA) president Felisha Thomas says negotiations for regional health authority (RHA) workers have reached a key milestone, with the Ministry of Health completing the salary calculations needed to advance the process to the Chief Personnel Officer (CPO).

In a release posted on Facebook yesterday, Thomas told the workers they had not been “forgotten” in ongoing wage talks, and dismissed suggestions the PSA had neglected RHA employees.

Addressing reports and commentary questioning the status of negotiations, Thomas said some of the reports appeared intended to “stir conflict” and create the false impression that RHA workers had been forgotten or excluded from the process.
