PARIM is the Professional Association of Residents and Interns of Manitoba

31.01    If, during the life of this Collective Agreement, health and welfare benefits are modified or extended to any other of the Employer’s employee groups, then the Association shall be given notice of the fact these benefits are being extended to other groups.  Further, the Association shall be given a period of sixty (60) days after receiving such notice, within which to decide whether it wishes to take advantage of and participate in said programs.  It is understood that the Association need not participate in such programs or plans, but if it decides to do so, on behalf of its members, then the Employer would extend the same plans to the Residents on the same basis that it was extended to other groups.
