Negotiations day 1

Hello WSNA Nurses,

On July 2, your negotiation team met for the first time with management to begin bargaining your WSNA contract. We submitted our entire initial proposals. Management hasn’t responded yet as they too submitted their proposals. We have scheduled to additional meetings for July 16 and July 23. We will send updates as soon as we have something more substantive to report.

Please make sure to see Laurie next week to get your WSNA badge reels and goodies. Let’s make sure that management can see that we are all standing in unity to make sure we get the best possible contract!

In solidarity, Your negotiation team.
