Bargaining Update
Posted Dec 11, 2025
We are meeting Friday, December 12, for our sixth bargaining session.
Thanks to those who were able to join us at our Local Unit Meeting on November 16. It was great to see nurses from various clinic sites come together to unite as one bargaining unit.
We will continue to advocate for better contract language and for more competitive wages.
Actions you can do:
- Sticker up every day at work. Wear your WSNA stickers, badge reels, badge buddies and buttons. You can find them on your WSNA bulletin board. If you have a WSNA T-shirt, wear it at work.
- Fill out ADOs (Assignment Despite Objection forms) for unsafe staffing at https://www.wsna.org/union/ado.
- If you feel intimidated from management about your Union Support, please notify your Nurse Representative immediately. That won't be tolerated.

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.
