We, your WSNA negotiation team, met with management on May 29 for our first bargaining session. We passed our full proposal to management including our economic proposals. Management presented us with a benefits package proposal. We will be carefully reviewing this complex proposal as well as other proposals we will be receiving from the hospital during the next two sessions.

Our next bargaining dates are June 5 and June 27. Once we have the full proposal from the hospital, we will be able to provide you with more details.
