We, your negotiating team, would like to thank everyone who attended the contract ratification vote. The next step is for the Board of Public Hospital District 1 of Lewis County to review and ratify our 2019-2021 contracts. Until then, our 2017-2019 contracts are still in effect. Once the Board ratifies, our 2019-2021 contracts will take effect immediately. Our wage increases would then occur the first full pay period after the Board approves our contracts. Administration is anticipating that the new wage rates will starting with the July 8, 2019 pay period.

If you have any questions, please contact one of us or contact WSNA Nurse Representative Michele Rose at 800-231-8482, ext. 3012 or mrose@wsna.org.

In Solidarity,

Colleen Littlejohn, Wesley McMahan and Melanie Pyles
