As we approach July 4—our nation’s day of independence—we’re reminded that any fight worth winning is worth fighting. Throughout history, people have secured freedom only through unity, courage, and persistence. That same spirit drives us today.
Several of our fellow nurses have been terminated for alleged HIPAA violations. We have filed grievances. We are not in agreement with these terminations—and we will not let any collective bargaining member stand alone.
“A nurse may request the presence of an Association representative during any investigatory meeting which the nurse believes may lead to a disciplinary action. The manager or supervisor shall inform the nurse of the purpose of such investigatory meeting in advance. Except in any case requiring immediate action on the part of the Employer, the nurse shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time to obtain Association representation.” -- Article 9.7.3 of our Sacred Heart CBA (2023–2025):
If you are called to a meeting that may involve discipline, you do not have to go in alone. Ask for a WSNA representative and know that you have a right to time to secure one before proceeding.
This is a time for unity. We win through solidarity, not silence. Let this fourth of July serve as a call to action—stand together, speak up, and protect one another.
Let freedom ring, not just in our country, but in our workplace!
In solidarity,

If you find yourself in a situation that you believe creates unsafe conditions for patients or for you, you should complete an RN Staffing Analysis Form as soon as possible. This will notify your charge nurse and manager of the situation as well as the Staffing Committee.

As a union member, you have the right to have a representative present in any meetings with management that could potentially lead to disciplinary action against you.
If called into a meeting with management, read the following to management when the meeting begins:
If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, I respectfully request that my union representative be present at this meeting. Without representation present, I choose not to participate in this discussion.
