A huge win for WSNA nurses and nursing practice at Seattle King County!

The motion to vacate Community Health Services Supervisors (CHSS) Arbitration Award DENIED.

Join us in celebrating another success for Public Health Nurses Supervisor Nurses! On January 22, WSNA’s Legal Counsel argued to dismiss the County’s motion to vacate the CHSS Arbitration Award. The Court decided in favor of the Union. This was a hard-fought victory!

This court decision amplifies our voice and the importance of maintaining Public Health Nurses in Public Health. We will not sit by idle and allow the erosion of nursing roles in public health and the community you serve. We congratulate the Supervisor Nurses and thank the Staff Nurses who contributed to the furtherance of this win. Both of our WSNA bargaining units benefit from this win!

YOU ARE WSNA!
