Greetings, Nurses of Morton General!  (2/4/2011)

To update you on current events—WSNA and Management met for the first Negotiation Session on January 21, 2011. We outlined our initial proposal. The management team was receptive, and accepted some of the language changes we proposed. That being said, they are stating that economic times are a challenge for Morton Hospital. We will hear their counter proposal on February 4, 2011, and hope for a reasonable offer, as economic times are difficult for nurses, too! Expect updates from WSNA after each session.

Support and encourage your Negotiating Team—they have your best interests in mind!
