Kadlec Negotiations Update - We Need Your Input

Over the last two days of bargaining, your negotiating team continued working to reach an agreement that meaningfully addresses the priorities nurses across the bargaining unit identified: fair wages, real break relief, and proactive safety measures. Despite significant effort and continued engagement at the table, these sessions did not produce an acceptable agreement based on the priorities members have consistently communicated throughout negotiations.

Your bargaining team remains committed to continuing negotiations, but it is clear that management is not yet prepared to meet the priorities nurses have identified as essential for an acceptable agreement. At this point, it is critical that we have current and accurate feedback from the bargaining unit so we can determine the next steps and continue applying the pressure necessary to move these negotiations forward.

Please take a moment now to complete this urgent survey using the link below.
This survey is not a strike vote, but it is an important tool that helps your bargaining team understand the level of readiness and unity across the bargaining unit as we plan our next moves.

Your voice and participation matter in this moment. The strength of our position at the bargaining table depends on clear, visible engagement from nurses across Kadlec. You can get to the survey by using the link or the QR code.

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.
