The agreements in the healthcare wage negotiations have just been finalized, and there are significant updates for those working in emergency medical services and home hospitalization. They negotiated quarterly from November to January, so the negotiations are now over, but it's useful to know how the scales turned out. The total increase was 4.5%, distributed in three installments of 1.5% each month. In addition, each month they received a non-salary allowance: $66,000 in November and December, and $70,000 in January. The interesting part is that the raises granted during 2025 can be offset with this, so the total isn't cumulative. There was also a special bonus for healthcare workers on Labor Day in September, of $60,245 or $50,592 depending on the agreement. They also updated the maternal room value to $291,103.63 starting in January. The healthcare parties reconvened in February to negotiate the upcoming increases, so I expect more updates soon. The validity of these agreements lasted until the end of January, so everything is now finalized.
