On April 5, we had our third day of negotiations using the Interest Based Bargaining (IBB) model. We had collaborative discussions and are making good progress.

We addressed the Staffing Committee, work week, SANE and workplace violence.

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

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