On Feb. 3, WSNA RNs turned out in record numbers and an overwhelming majority voted to ratify the contract. The EvergreenHealth Board approved this contract on Feb. 4. The contract still needs to be finalized and prepared by WSNA and the employer. We will notify and post it on the WSNA EvergreenHealth webpage once it is complete. The team fought hard for this contract. Please take a moment to thank them!
Advocating for our working conditions doesn't end at this contract. Now is a great time to get involved! Please reach out to any of your WSNA Officers, bargaining team members, Nurse Rep, or Nurse Organizer Tara Barnes, tbarnes@wsna.org for more information.
Pay Raise and Bonus

In solidarity,
Your EvergreenHealth bargaining team: Alicia O’Neal, Beth Volk, Holly Baker, Karen Lasota, Lexi Overa, Sandy Gott, Theresa Blazer

If you find yourself in a situation that you believe creates unsafe conditions for patients or for you, you should complete a Staffing Complaint / ADO Form as soon as possible.
By completing the form, you will help make the problem known to management, creating an opportunity for the problem to be addressed. Additionally, you will be documenting the facts, which may be helpful to you later if there is a negative outcome.
WSNA also uses your ADO forms to track the problems occurring in your facility. When you and your coworkers take the important step of filling out an ADO form, you are helping to identify whether there is a pattern of unsafe conditions for you or your patients at your facilities. This information is used by your conference committee, staffing committee, and WSNA labor staff to improve your working conditions.
If called into a meeting with management, read the following to management when the meeting begins:
If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, I respectfully request that my union representative be present at this meeting. Without representation present, I choose not to participate in this discussion.
