Our WSNA Negotiation Team recommends a YES vote for our contract!
Join us Friday, January 9 in Conference Room A to cast your vote.

• $500 ratification bonus, prorated by FTE. Supplementals are credited as 0.2 FTE

• NEW Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner language and premium compensation- $250 for nurses who perform SANE exams in addition to all other pay

• Increased annual leave carryover from 80 hours to 120 hours
