On March 26, we had our second day of negotiations using the Interest Based Bargaining (IBB) model. We had collaborative discussions and are making good progress.

We addressed vacation, transition for nurses going into pool positions, PTO cash out and notification (in article 8.4).

We reached an agreement to resolve our payroll grievance that was scheduled to go to arbitration. More information coming on this.

We agreed to extend the contract through May 31.

Our next dates for negotiations are April 5, 16, and 29 and May 16 and 17.

Your team members are:

Susan Chapman, Judy McBride, Samantha Goff, Crystal Clabaugh, Stefanie Gates, Lorna Sebastian, Michele Rae, Amanda Cortes, Nick Jackson and Paul Molenaar
