PeaceHealth Southwest nurses, our current contract expires in nine days! We were back at the bargaining table Tuesday, February 17, to keep fighting for a deal that will make you proud over the next three years. Though we left feeling optimistic over how close we are to reaching agreement on a lot of issues, there’s still a lot of work to be done to finish the job – especially for nurses who work outside the hopsital.
An overwhelming super-majority of you signed the petition for a fair contract for ALL WSNA Southwest nurses, and we presented that to the Leadership team Tuesday afternoon. Alyssa Boswell from Home Hospice and Jacob Clark from CVICU both spoke on behalf of our bargaining unit when they delivered the petitions to our CNO during negotiations. The message they sent was clear: we count on our CNO to have nurses’ backs when she’s in the board as our leader and a fellow nurse, and we need her help to rebuild trust by moving our bargaining unit’s Home and Community Nurses back onto the Acute Care Pay Scale where they belong.
Call for a final push: There are ONLY THREE DAYS left of bargaining before our contract expires! The team needs everyone’s support to get the contract finished before 2/28. We won’t be rushed into a deal that isn’t good for everyone, but with your help we believe we can reach an agreement that gets everyone paid competitively and on time!
Join us TONIGHT!
Come on down to Sasquatch Pizza, have a slice with us, get to know other new nurses, and ask all the questions about the union and bargaining that your little heart desires! Family and Friends welcome and slices on us, booze is on you. Kid-friendly pinball machines, too! Looking forward to seeing you there!
Date: Thursday 2/19/2026 from 6-9 pm
Location: Hungry/Thirsty Sasquatch (2110 Main St, Vancouver, WA)

If you are working and cannot join us, make sure to wear a WSNA sticker to support the team or your WSNA blue T-shirt. We will have shirts at bargaining if you’d like to pick one up.
Join us Wednesday Night 2/25/2026, at 6:30 pm for our weekly virtual local unit meeting, “Southwest Bargaining Beat.” We will be live at the bargaining table in the final hours of our last session before expiration. You won’t want to miss this one!

Join us for the 2026 WSNA Union Leadership Conference.
If you find yourself in a situation that you believe creates unsafe conditions for patients or for you, you should complete a Staffing Complaint / ADO Form as soon as possible.
By completing the form, you will help make the problem known to management, creating an opportunity for the problem to be addressed. Additionally, you will be documenting the facts, which may be helpful to you later if there is a negative outcome.
WSNA also uses your ADO forms to track the problems occurring in your facility. When you and your coworkers take the important step of filling out an ADO form, you are helping to identify whether there is a pattern of unsafe conditions for you or your patients at your facilities. This information is used by your conference committee, staffing committee, and WSNA labor staff to improve your working conditions.
As a union member, you have the right to have a representative present in any meetings with management that could potentially lead to disciplinary action against you.
If called into a meeting with management, read the following to management when the meeting begins:
If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, I respectfully request that my union representative be present at this meeting. Without representation present, I choose not to participate in this discussion.
Find out more about this crucial right and how to exercise it to ensure your fair treatment and protection.
