RNs demand reversal of 7/1 matrix changes

WSNA recently partnered with our sister union OFNHP on July 7 to hand out 22 thousand face masks and 1000 shields to staff and community for personal use. This was possible due to a generous donation of masks and face shields from our national union AFT and Governor Inslee’s masking order effective July 7.

At that event we also launched two more actions to get CEO Sean Gregory to rescind the matrix changes effective July 1 and revert to those approved by the staffing committee and reported to the State Department of Health as directed by law.

Sign this letter to CEO Sean Gregory to show your support for reinstatement of the old matrices house wide. Hundreds of PeaceHealth SW RNs have already signed and we invite you to join us in solidarity.

We’re also asking nurses to complete ADOs every shift if need be. This is the data that supports arguments for changes in the status quo. To make that even easier for you, we have an online form for you to access from your cell phone.

Nurses at PeaceHealth Southwest are fed up with administration ignoring the process we fought hard to get into state law. Their disregard for nursing input by unilaterally implementing their own plan is not only disrespectful but puts our high standards for patient outcomes as risk.

As we prepare for another increase in COVID-19 patients, WSNA is your source for quality and trusted information. Visit the website for more information and resources to support you.

For questions about any of these actions, contact WSNA Nurse Organizer Ryan Rosenkranz at rrosenkranz@wsna.org.

For workplace specific issues or questions, contact your WSNA Nurse Representative Mara Kieval at mkieval@wsna.org.
