Your voice has been heard. The tentative agreement has been ratified by a majority vote of WSNA nurses. This decision reflects the strength of our democratic process and our shared commitment to standing together as a union.
The new contract, including wage and differential raises, will go into full effect on June 1, 2025.
We know nurses felt strongly about this vote. For some of us, ratification is a relief. For others, it may feel like we have unfinished business. And that’s okay. Every step forward we’ve taken in this fight has been because nurses showed up, stood together, and demanded better—not just for ourselves, but for our patients and our profession. We aren’t stopping any of those things anytime soon.
Our new contract includes important wins—wins that only came because nurses took action. From historic raises and the elimination of ghost steps to guaranteed pharmacy access and stronger protections for hospice nurses, the new language in this agreement moves us forward. It’s not perfect. No contract is. That’s why we’re not going to stop pushing for more.
We are proud of what we accomplished together, and we are already preparing for the next phase: enforcement, implementation, and continued organizing. Our solidarity doesn’t end with this vote—it will grow with every shift we work, every grievance we file, every committee meeting we pack with observers, and every new nurse we bring into our movement.
Thank you to every nurse who spoke up, showed up, and cast a vote. You are the union—and we’re just getting started.
Our fight isn’t over. It’s just beginning. Join us next week to learn about what’s next.
Next week we will be holding Sip N Chat on Tuesday instead of Monday due to the Memorial Day Holiday. Sip N Chat time will be from 1630-1730. You can join the meeting by clicking the link below
In Solidarity,
Your WSNA Bargaining Team

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.
