Kadlec Nurses: Strike Assessments Are Underway

Look for your Strike Captain and complete your strike assessment

Following the overwhelming response to the recent member survey, strike assessments are now underway across Kadlec. These conversations are an important step in understanding our unit’s readiness as we continue pushing for the contract nurses deserve.

Strike assessments are not a strike vote. They are conversations between nurses that help the bargaining team understand where members stand and ensure we accurately represent the priorities of Kadlec nurses as negotiations continue.

Strike captains are connecting with nurses across the hospital to ask a few questions about potential escalation and to hear directly from members.

These conversations are:

  • Confidential
  • Nurse-to-nurse
  • An opportunity to ask questions and discuss the issues at stake in negotiations

We encourage every RN to take a few minutes to connect with their Strike Captain and complete their assessment. Please reach out to WSNA Organizer Ryan Rosenkranz (rrosenkranz@wsna.org) if you need to determine who is the nearest Strike Captain to you.

If you have questions about strikes, unemployment, PRN protections, or other concerns, a Strike FAQ is now available in the Documents section of the Kadlec landing page.

Kadlec nurses have made it clear that the current proposal does not meet the priorities identified by the bargaining unit. Staying informed and engaged is the best way to ensure your voice is represented as we move forward.

Together, Kadlec nurses are building the unity needed to win a fair contract.

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.
