Upcoming PERC Training for nurses
Posted Jan 12, 2026
As part of an unfair labor practice settlement filed by WSNA against Evergreen Health, PERC has agreed to education to nursing staff about their labor rights. The training will include information about what PERC is, how it oversees the union activity within Evergreen, what the rights are of the nurses, as well as tips for avoiding ULPs.
PERC is the Public Employee Relations Commission who are tasked with issues such as labor relations, collective bargaining, and resolution of labor-management disputes. Learn more about PERC here: https://perc.wa.gov/.
Training:
January 27 from 0800-1700 (with break for lunch)
Tan 250
This is a full day training, in person, on campus. There is currently no option for virtual attendance. Please speak to your management if you wish to attend but are scheduled to work for the day. They may be able to assist but it depends on the staffing on your unit.
Knowledge is power! The greatest way to protect yourself, your coworkers, and your unit is by learning about your rights! Sign up now before the spots are filled.
To sign up email your nurse rep, Brenda Balogh at bbalogh@wsna.org and request an invitation.

Resources and tools
Document unsafe conditions
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.
Representation rights
As a union member, you have the right to have a representative present in any meetings with management that could potentially lead to disciplinary action against you.
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.
Find out more about this crucial right and how to exercise it to ensure your fair treatment and protection.
