Premium and Shift Differential Issues
Posted Feb 27, 2026
We have confirmed that certain premiums and shift differential increases bargained in our new contract did not appear on this paycheck. Under the contract, these increases were to take effect in the first full pay period following ratification. That means the updated premiums and differentials should have been reflected in this check. They were not.
We have contacted the employer and demanded an immediate explanation, along with a clear timeline for when nurses will receive the full amount owed. Nurses ratified this contract in good faith. The employer is obligated to implement it in full and on time.
If this is not corrected promptly, we are prepared to take further action, including filing a grievance. Our expectation is simple: pay nurses what they have earned.
We will provide an update as soon as we receive more information. Thank you to everyone who brought this forward. A strong contract only works when we enforce it together.
Please contact your WSNA Nurse Representative or one of your Local Unit Officers if you have questions.

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.
