Wage Increase  

On Thursday, June 8, 2023, your local unit officers as well as WSNA met with leadership and their attorney to discuss a wage reopener. Your local unit officers were able to secure a 6% wage increase for everyone across the board.  

End of Incentive MOU 

With this 6% increase, the employer is ending the incentive MOU, stating financial hardship. Please be aware that we are asking the employer for clarification that any shifts already picked up will be honored as an incentive shift and if not, the nurses will have the choice to decline the extra shift. More to come on this. 

Local unit meeting 

We will be planning a local unit meeting over the next couple of months. There will be food and fun, and more to come.  

Questions? Contact WSNA Nurse Representative Stephenie Troftgruben at stroftgruben@wsna.org.

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.
