Your SUN-RT Bargaining Team is pleased to announce that on December 23, 2025, we reached a tentative agreement with the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
Since July of this year, your SUN-RT Bargaining Team has been meeting with the Hospital to negotiate the renewal of your collective agreement. We are pleased to now share the details of the tentative agreement that we reached with the Hospital on December 23, 2025 to conclude this round of collective bargaining.
Highlights of this tentative agreement include:
- All weekend work shall remain voluntary, with the exception of On-Call/Call-Back per Article 17.04 & LOU Letter of Understanding - Opening Odette Cancer Centre on a day it would otherwise be closed

- 6 weeks of vacation at 20 years of service instead of 21; 7 weeks of vacation at 25 years of service instead of 27 years of service
- Wages
- Effective April 1, 2025 – increase to rates of pay: 3.00%
- Effective April 1, 2026 – increase to rates of pay: 2.25%
- Effective April 1, 2027 – increase to rates of pay to 2% and any equivalent ONA wage rates if they are greater for the corresponding period (April 1, 2027 - March 31, 2028)

- Effective April 1, 2025 – 3.00% step difference between step 7 and step 8
This agreement must now be ratified by the SUN-RT Group membership. There will be in-person ratification information sessions to go over the tentative agreement in more detail.
There will be two sessions available:
Date: January 22, 2026
Location: Jenkins, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (2075 Bayview Ave, North York, ON M4N 3M5)
- 11:00 a.m. – 11:45 a.m.
- 12:00 p.m. – 12:45 p.m.
Following the ratification information sessions, an electronic vote will be held in order to ratify this agreement. All regular members in good standing will receive the voting instructions by email.
The voting will be open from January 22, 2026 at 1:00 PM to January 29, 2026 at 1:00 PM. You will receive voting instructions via email.
A “Yes” vote means: You are accepting all of the changes proposed in the tentative agreement. Non-monetary changes will take place at the date of signing. The Hospital has four pay periods from the completion of their ratification to implement monetary changes (e.g., salary grids).
A “No” vote means: You reject the tentative agreement and instruct the SUN-RT Group Bargaining Team to pursue further negotiations, with a high likelihood of heading to arbitration.
The SUN-RT Bargaining Team believes we accomplished the best deal possible and we unanimously recommend accepting this tentative agreement.
