Take the negotiations survey to gear up for bargaining your next union contract!

  • Contract negotiations start in early spring 2027, but our prep begins the first of the year 😊
  • Take the survey to share your voice and what you want to see advocated for in negotiations.

Complete the bargaining survey to prepare your team to advocate for a fair contract for all Overlake RNs. Let us know what you are willing to do to make that happen in your unit and/or to consent to be on the bargaining team, please indicate this in the survey. Encourage your peers to do the same. 

Take the survey now!

Do not delay. We want to hear from ALL of you. Let’s do this!

Not a member yet? Here is the solution: Complete the online application right away. Our unity is our strength because the contract does not fight for itself. The employer counts every non-member as on their side. We must be prepared to unify around our shared interests to achieve the fair contract we all deserve. Do not let our contract risk take aways. Become a member today at www.wsna.org/membership/application.

What next? Take the survey and encourage your peers to do the survey as well. Our goal is for HIGH participation to ensure your team is best prepared to negotiate a strong, fair contract for all Overlake WSNA RNs.
