Celebrating Our Rights This Independence Day

As we gather to celebrate the Fourth of July, we honor the rights and freedoms won through generations of struggle and sacrifice. Just as our nation fought for independence, workers have fought, often at great personal cost, for the rights we hold as union members today. From the Ludlow Massacre to Blair Mountain and beyond, labor leaders have stood up to injustice and laid the foundation for the protections we enjoy.

This Independence Day, let’s honor that legacy by remembering that our rights as union nurses must be protected, practiced, and passed on.

You have the RIGHT to:

  • Union representation during any meeting that may lead to discipline. You must ask for it every time.
  • Engage in protected concerted activity, including speaking up about workplace conditions or organizing for change.
  • Work in a safe and healthy environment.
  • Contest violations of the contract or labor law without fear of retaliation.

Together, we continue the fight for a better St. Clare's. For our patients, our community, and each other.

Hospital Staffing Committee Update

The HSC met last month to approve staffing plans for the semi-annual review. We are very appreciative of the nurses, especially from Ortho, who came and made their voices heard. All plans were approved and went into effect on July 1. We will be meeting again on 7/17 in the education classrooms at 0800. Remember that the HSC is open to ALL NURSES. Please come join us and make your voices heard.

Document unsafe conditions

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.

Representation rights

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.
