WSNA Nurses Voted NO – Here’s What’s Next

913 nurses – over 84% of our bargaining unit’s members – made their voices heard over the past two days in our bargaining unit’s first ever electronic vote, making this WSNA’s highest ever ratification vote turnout on record. When polls closed a few minutes ago, one thing was abundantly clear: nurses at St. Joe’s know their worth and demand better from PeaceHealth in our 2025-28 contract.

Thank you to everyone who cast a ballot. The message we’ve sent management shows them our bargaining unit is ready to fight for what we deserve. Now is the time to stand together unified to fight.

What’s Next?

We’ve already reached out to management to schedule additional negotiation dates, but we know the real work in front of us won’t be done at the bargaining table. It will take every one of us standing shoulder to shoulder showing our undivided solidarity through action.

Join us to talk about what’s next at the virtual sip-and-chat on Monday, March 31, at 1630 or stop by our usual cafeteria hours from 1130-1530 on Tuesday, April 1.

In solidarity,
Laura Bayes, Robin Cully, Jenn Engelhart, Rhonda Tull, Tracy Pullar, Amber Pouley, Jen Hampton, Kristin Malmo, Errin Hull, and Kelly Carroll
