Your bargaining team has reached a Tentative Agreement!

Early yesterday evening, your team of registered nurses from UWMC and Northwest Hospital Medical Center reached a Tentative Agreement. Having contemplated the alternative of negotiating each contract separately, along with the potential for significant takeaways, your team elected to fight for 2 years of predictability and stability for registered nurses.

Under our agreement, your contract will remain largely unchanged at both UWMC and NW Hospital Medical Center, preserving the benefits you are accustomed to.

Your team of registered nurses fought off potential takeaways proposed by your employer and made some significant gains along the way!

Stay tuned for a detailed update that will be coming your way by the end of the week.

Also, mark your calendars for the upcoming votes:

  • UWMC on April 11 (times and locations to follow)
  • NW Hospital Medical Center on April 16 (times and locations to follow)


In Solidarity!
