Bargaining Update – Day 11

Once again, Management gave us NOTHING on wages and premiums on Friday!

We are starting to plan for an Informational Picket at the hospital in the coming weeks. Contact a bargaining team member to pledge that you will attend if you haven’t already. 
 
Thank you to everyone who has signed a picket pledge!

WSNA is moving forward with plans to digitally target the hospital with ads related to our bargaining. Contact the WSNA Rep. if you have ideas for ad content!

March 14 is our next bargaining session! Let’s fill the room with  nurses when management brings its economic counterproposal. To observe the bargaining session on March 14, 2024, send an email to sscholl@wsna.org to RSVP.

If you are told to take off stickers, buttons, or T-Shirts, ask if discipline could result if you don’t take off the item. If the supervisor says yes, take off the item and please file an ADO.

While we are in negotiations, bargaining team members will be hosting informal union meetings with WSNA members. “Sip and Chats” will occur every Tuesday from 1800-1930 while we are in negotiations.
