Our 11th session closed with Management still proposing to discontinue EIT and to implement a Short Term Disability plan. They are also proposing possible higher increases for premiums, including charging a premium to nurses who have no dependents. We have decided to bring in a Federal Mediator to help with the bargaining process.

Come to the next local unit meeting on June 14 at the Spokane Labor Council, 510 S. Elm. Meeting times are from 8 to 9 a.m., 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., 4 to 5 p.m. and 8 to 9 p.m.

Attorneys from WSNA Headquarters, Michael Sanderson, General Counsel and Director of Collective Bargaining, and Timothy Sears, WSNA Corporate Counsel, will be present along with Anne Tan Piazza, Senior Director of Strategic Initiatives, to answer your difficult strike questions.
