Your negotiating team was awesome!

Watch for new contract discs to come your way.

We have a tentative agreement!  Your negotiating team worked very hard, and management continued to be collaborative.  The team feels we have a good agreement, and once final revisions are walked through by our legal department, we will send out news of the vote.  No take-aways and a few exciting new provisions!  Stay tuned.

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!
