Collective Agreement
Maritime Resident Doctors negotiates a Collective Agreement with your Employer that covers all residents training through Dalhousie University across the Maritimes. This agreement contains articles concerning your pay, benefits, hours of work, leave of absences, vacation, tuition, call, and more. The agreement is usually re-negotiated every three years. Once the agreement expires, all provisions remain in effect until a new agreement is reached.
The most recent Collective Agreement is for the term July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2027. CLICK HERE for a one-page update of what changed in our contract during the last negotiation cycle.
