Wage Rate Increases - Update

Thank you all for your patience as WSNA reviewed the employers’ communicated plan for implementing new wage rates per the contract. We are aware that:

  • You did not receive wage rate increases on your February 20 paycheck
  • You did receive increased premiums and differentials
  • The employer has updated their FAQ to reflect retro payments of the new wages being extended through February 15, instead of February 1

There have been discrepancies in what the employer has communicated to the nurses and to WSNA, which is disappointing. Our legal team is doing a thorough review of the matter. Once that review is complete, we will have an update for you. We will continue to make this a top priority. We appreciate your patience.

Stay connected and informed:

YOU ARE WSNA!
