We have been hearing from several nurses being called for a “Fact Finding Meeting” This is also known as an investigatory meeting. To be safe, please reach out. Your Officers and Nurse Rep is here for you!
First ask: “What is the purpose of this meeting?”
Then make the following statement: “If this meeting could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, or affect my working conditions, I respectfully request that my union representative be present at this meeting. Without representation present, I choose not to participate in this discussion."
I understand that there are many of you that may be afraid to make this bold statement to your manager; but these are your rights. If you have a gut feeling that the meeting you are going to attend seems unusual, please go with your gut feeling. Give one of your officers or the WSNA Rep a call and let’s talk.
To view your Weingarten Rights, flip your badge buddy over and read.
Welcome Anita Dennis (PAU) as our second Grievance Officer.
We are still looking for a second Member at Large. Let us know if you are interested.
For any questions or concerns, please contact one of the officers or the Nurse Rep

The WSNA Cabinet on Economic and General Welfare is proud to announce the Local Unit Awards to be presented during the 2022 Union Leadership Conference on April 24 — 26, 2022 at the Campbell’s Resort in Chelan, Washington. Please nominate someone that you feel has done an outstanding job as a local unit leader by the Feb. 25 deadline.
Get answers to the most frequently asked questions, find links to the best resources, and see the latest updates from WSNA related to COVID-19. Information is changing constantly, and we're updating this page on an ongoing basis.
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.
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.
