durock21 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hey, I'm wondering if anybody knows whether PARO is/will be negotiating a new contract within the next two years? I'm thinking of ranking some Ontario programs high for CaRMS and I know that wages were frozen in the last contract. From what I can see, it looks like the contract expired in 2013 but there's no mention of current negotiations on the PARO website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure our current contract has already expired, they have already been negotiating for a while now. There are negotiation progress notes on the myparo site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Geez, I must be blind. Thanks! no worries, it is really common for a contract to expire and then negotiations to really start. Seems silly to me but there you go If there is raise this time, and after a 2 year freeze there better be, then we will get it retroactively.

doc88 Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I think PAR-BC had a freeze for 4 or 6 years before a new contract was in place that continued to place BC as the second worst paying province in the country. Hopefully this does not happen in Ontario. Just got an email from PARO setting some deadlines for salary counteroffers from the government. Our negotiating personnel wants Ontario residents to be the highest paid in the country (yea good luck) but at least if we aim high we'll likely still fall somewhere in the middle which is decent.

How about we just had a wage phrase for the past two years, and we work harder than any other hospital employee at the hospital (if you go by shear hours) and get paid less than anyone else on an hourly biases. Oh and you have reduced and plan to reduce more end doctor pay so the traditional justification that we will be rewarded in the end to make up for years of lower pay is holding less water as well. Ha - phrasing It isn't that Ontario deserves to get the highest pay, it is all residents deserve to get a fair income and often don't. Plus even with a higher base salary you have to be careful as our call pay is much worse than many places anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastriss Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 So when do we find out about our salaries? And Rmorelan, do you mean that if we get a pay raise as it is expected, it will be retroactive as in we can expect a nice bonus? Just sounds too good!
