Our bargaining team met with the employer on Oct. 11 for our first negotiation session

20181011 114035

We presented proposals which include language promoting safe and effective staffing, and a wage increase which is competitive and encourages recruitment and retention. Our next bargaining session is on Tuesday, Oct. 16. It’s time to bust out your WSNA swag – WSNA water bottles, buttons, badge pulls, etc.!

If you or your unit would like to find out how to support your negotiation team, please contact one of us at any time!

In Solidarity,
