WSNA update

Contract Negotiations

Our 3 Year Contract expires October 21, 2025. We began contract negotiations with our first session on September 24.

Thank you for completing the pre-negotiations survey. We took your wishes and concerns and presented our proposals to the management team.  This was a short meeting session, so management heard our proposals, but did not have enough time to formulate their responses that day.  We will meet again for Session #2 on Wednesday, October 1, and expect to receive responses to our proposals. More details to follow.

Be sure to thank the nurses who are donating their time to serve on the Bargaining Team:

Elisha Knight - Float
Suzette Marengo - Tacoma South
Hyacinth Faith Bunac - Gig Harbor
Mia Guilder and Richelle Besarra - Puyallup
Benicka Castilla - Tacoma East
