Honoring Our Veterans and Military Families
Posted Nov 10, 2025
On this Veterans Day, we pause to honor and thank those among us who have served in the United States Armed Forces, as well as the families who have supported them. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifices—both in service and at home—embody the highest values of commitment and selflessness.
We are deeply grateful for the strength, leadership, and perspective you bring to the workplace every day. Your service has made a lasting impact on our country and continues to inspire us.
Thank you for your contributions, your resilience, and your example. Today and every day, we honor you.

We’re happy to announce that your 2% contractual pay increase takes effect with the November 10–23 pay period (First full pay period on or after November 1, 2025), and you’ll see it reflected in your November 28 paycheck!

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.
