Upcoming Action – Mark Your Calendar
Posted Jan 7, 2026
WSNA is planning a critical bargaining unit action on January 26, 2026, from 830–1030 a.m. We will begin meeting prior to the event at the Richland Public Library in the Doris Roberts Gallery. This date is intentional and important.
If we make sufficient progress at the bargaining table, this gathering will serve as a contract vote. If progress remains limited, the event will move forward as an Informational Picket to publicly educate our community about the issues Kadlec nurses are fighting for safe staffing, real break relief, workplace safety, and fair wages.
We are asking every bargaining unit member to plan now to attend and sign a picket pledge card to indicate that you will attend. Your presence sends a clear message about how serious nurses are about winning a contract that protects both caregivers and patients.
❓ What Is an Informational Picket?
An informational picket is a lawful, peaceful action where nurses gather outside of work hours to inform the public and community about issues affecting patient care, nurse safety, and working conditions. Staff will gather on the public sidewalks outside Kadlec holding signs and making our voices heard together. It looks very much like a strike, but it is not a strike, and nurses continue to work their scheduled shifts, but it is a powerful way to make our concerns visible and to show that Kadlec nurses are united and engaged in the fight for a fair contract. By standing together, holding signs, and speaking with the public, nurses send a clear message that these issues matter and that meaningful solutions are needed at the bargaining table.

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.
