It is time to get ready for negotiations and we need your help!
Posted May 26, 2023
The current interim contract between WSNA and Kindred Seattle-First Hill expires on October 31, 2023 This survey is a vital step in our preparation for contract negotiations. Your input is critical in determining nurses’ priorities as we head to the bargaining table. We cannot consider your issues and concerns unless we hear from you.
All responses are confidential. WSNA and your contract negotiating team do not share this information with anyone. We ask for your current contact information so that we may contact you if we have questions about your responses and so that we can share important information with you.
If you have any questions, please contact your Nurse Representative, Sara Frey at sfrey@wsna.org or Organizer Crystal Doll at cdoll@wsna.org or Sam Scholl at sscholl@wsna.org.

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.
