Bargaining: Next Steps Survey

On Sept 18th 2026 PEI Nurses' Union walked from the bargaining table, feeling that we had no other choice at that point in negotiations. Since then, the PEINU provincial office has worked on several next steps and advocacy efforts, but we want to hear from our members about how you are feeling and what you want our union to do next.

If you haven't already, we highly recommend you read our initial statement about the reason behind PEINU's decision to walk from the table before completing this survey.
