UWMC-NW Bargaining Update

Vote NO and Send Management a Clear Message - Advisory Vote Opens Tuesday, 7/29 at 8 PM

Your WSNA bargaining team continues to hold the line on your key priorities—but management’s proposals still fall short. We remain far apart on wages, break relief, staffing, and more.

We told them our members won’t accept this deal. Now it’s time to show them.
Vote NO on management’s proposals and send a clear message: We deserve better.

We can’t recommend what’s on the table—and your vote tells management this isn’t good enough.
