UWMC RNs, We Need Your Vote!

Please help us welcome the following RNs into the WSNA family:

Bradley Christofel
Hiwet Asfaha 
Jessica Vox
Judy Brown 
Leanne Smith-Anderson
Roozy Taheri
Suzanne Taylor

After months of bargaining with the employer, WSNA has reached a tentative agreement (TA) with UW to bring the Nurse Care Coordinators into the WSNA bargaining unit!

The final TA will be available at the vote for review.  It will also be posted online at WSNA.org beginning Tuesday, May 28, so that you can review this in advance of the vote.

At the vote, we'll be there to help answer any questions you may have.

The vote will be Friday, May 31

Location and times:

MAB 307 - 6 - 9 am
MAB 306T 2 - 5 pm

Only members in good standing are able to vote, so for those RNs that are not currently WSNA members, we will have membership forms on hand for you to complete.

Thanks again to everyone who sent in feedback, attended negotiations with UW, signed membership cards, and worked to ultimately make the Nurse Care Coordinator position one that has a say in their working conditions.

Again, congratulations to the Nurse Care Coordinators on being a part of WSNA, and joining the 800+ RNs at UW Northwest.

In solidarity,
