Good news!

You have ratified your first contract.

Nurses turned out in record numbers Tuesday, Jan. 28 to sign up for membership and cast ballots for your first contract between CHI Franciscan Rehab Hospital and WSNA. Your negotiating team, Anna Pyfrom and Heather Wantz, put their hearts and souls into achieving the very best contract for you. Their steadfast dedication to all of you was very clear as they carefully deliberated every article that management put across the table. They deserve huge thanks from all of us, including the WSNA staff that was fortunate enough to work with them and assist them through the process.

Your contract is in effect now. WSNA and the Employer are finalizing the contract so that it can be published online. We will send an update when it is posted.

If you have any questions about the terms and conditions of your employment, please reach out to Hanna Welander, WSNA Nurse Rep, at (206) 575-7979, Ext. 3035, or by email at hwelander@wsna.org.
