On Oct. 13, 2021, your contract negotiation team met with hospital management for our third negotiation session. We reached several tentative agreements and had a productive discussion about the issues that we have heard are important to the nurses. Management has proposed a 2% raise once nurses vote for the new contract, a 2% raise in October 2022 and a 2% raise in October of 2023. Your bargaining team believes that the RNs at the hospital deserve higher wages than what management is proposing and will work hard to push management for fair compensation.

We meet next with management on Oct. 19.

Please display the negotiation car signs in your car window while at work. Also, please remember to wear your WSNA badge holders, stickers and buttons to show your support for a fair contract.
