Are you on drugs?

Many members or their dependants are on prescription drugs that are commonly referred to as maintenance drugs or long-term medications. Maintenance or long-term medications are those drugs you may take on a regular basis to treat conditions such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes. 

July 2^nd Fast Approaching

Both the RSMC and Urban Collective Agreements could expire on July 2^nd and if that were to happen, we would not be guaranteed coverage under our Drug Plan. Members would then have to pay 100% of the cost of any prescription.

Three-month Supply

If you or a family member is on any medication that would fit into the category of maintenance or long-term medication, you should consider speaking with your Doctor and have him or her write out a prescription so that you can receive a three-month supply of the drug.

Have the prescription filled in June to ensure that you have your necessary medications to take you through a strike or lockout.

While we hope to have a negotiated Collective Agreement, it is always best to prepare.
