Save the date and join us on September 27 for our public action at the Chinook building!

This rally is crucial to our goals in negotiations and our efforts to fight for a FAIR contract. We gain strength and resolve from our shared actions. Since 2023, we have laid the foundation with the County to improve the longevity in our contract by asking for a wage scale and pay rates that recognize the years of experience of nurses across their career. We have also made important proposals around safety and anti-discrimination.

There have been no surprises. Our advocacy is just and will benefit the County in achieving the strategic priorities for public health. We remain clear and consistent. Our collective actions are focused on securing and preserving quality and experienced public health nurses at the County now and in the future. Our activism and advocacy are the foundation of nursing practice.

What to expect at the Rally?

On Saturday September 27, we will assemble outside the Chinook building on the corner of 5^th and Jefferson from noon-2 pm.
