Our bargaining team met with management on Friday, August 23 to bargain the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will be added to our contract for 57 NW nurses.

These nurses will be designated “Staff Nurse”:

17 Clinic Nurses

2 Cardiac Rehab Nurses

7 Clinic Infusion Nurses

2 Clinic Surgical Nurse

The following group will be designated “RN3”:

20 Clinical Coordinators

5 Nursing Shift Managers

Our team of 11 RNs and our attorney worked for eight hours and came away optimistic about the proposals that were exchanged and discussed. We plan to meet with management again on Thursday, Aug. 29 and are hopeful we may reach a Tentative Agreement (TA).

If we do reach a TA, we will put a notice out to all of the RNs in the WSNA bargaining unit for an upcoming Ratification Vote for the MOU. Stay tuned!

In solidarity!
