The president of the Health Sciences Association of Alberta says he is reluctantly recommending union members ratify a tentative deal that will grant workers at least a 12 per cent wage increase in four years.

Representatives from the union and provincial health employers, represented by Alberta Health Services, struck a compromise on Thursday. Its news release says it would give 22,000 members in 160 professions three per cent wage increases each year for four years, from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2028.

The union has another 8,000 members who are not included in the deal.
