It would be so sweet to come to agreement on a fair contract when we meet with you again this month in mediation!

A HUGE thanks to King County Council Member and Board of Health Chair Teresa Mosqueda for continuing to demonstrate solidarity with us as union nurses and all King County residents, not just now but all the time. She is already our valentine!

Your WSNA negotiation team returns to the table with the County on February 24^th. More dates are being scheduled for the first week of March. We cannot wait!

As promised, we are taking action, contacting mayors where Seattle King County nurses provide public health services to their residents and constituents. We are inviting them to join us in these strenuous efforts to make a deal we can recommend to the nurses for a vote by contacting Executive Zahilay. He is the collective bargaining agent for the County.

Here is how each of you can take action!
