Nurses at UW Medicine push for flexibility, greater safety amid contract negotiations

The Washington State Nurses Association, which represents a portion of nurses from both campuses, is spearheading the bargaining efforts, advocating for continued flexible scheduling and stronger workplace protections.

“The negotiations are fundamental to keeping a healthy workforce of nurses who can maintain that passion for caring for their community,” UWMC Northwest nurse and co-chair of the bargaining unit, Kaitlyn Fochs said.
