On November 12, 2025, your contract negotiation team met with Virgina Mason Franciscan Rehab administration for our first day of in person negotiations. We gave management our opening proposal, including proposals that address priorities you stated in the contract negotiation survey. That includes proposals such an RN wage scale with yearly step increases, a wage scale that goes to 30 years, market competitive wage increases, and workplace violence language.

Virginia Mason Franciscan Rehab management had no proposals for us today. We are expecting a full counter proposal from them when we meet next.

Don’t forget to wear your WSNA gear on negotiation days and Fridays to show your support for a fair contract!

Our next bargaining session is on Dec. 1, with sessions on Dec. 2 and Dec. 8 to follow. Go to www.wsna.org/union/chi-rehab for the latest updates from the team!
