The Washington State Nurses Association represents 1,800 registered nurses at UW Medical Center — Montlake and 600 registered nurses at UW Medical Center — Northwest.

“We are very concerned and sad to hear about potential furloughs at UW Medical Center,” said Anne Tan Piazza, senior director of strategic initiatives for Washington State Nurses Association. “We have not gotten official notification but have made it clear that we want to have discussions and demand to bargain with administration on the impact of the furloughs.”
