Live From Bellingham… It’s Bargaining Day!
Posted May 16, 2025

We’re live at the table with over 100 nurses packing the room in solidarity. And just like a great cold open, we kicked things off with a powerful proposal.
We’ve once again put forward the 25-year compressed wage scale — a bold and fair plan that redistributes the funds from step 26 and above across the entire scale and eliminates all ghost steps. That means real wage growth for every nurse. Check out our wage proposal here.
We believe our proposal is more than reasonable—and we’re hopeful that today is the day we can reach a deal that honors the dedication and skill of every nurse at St. Joe’s.
If you’re off today, swing by and show your support in person! We’re at the Four Points Sheraton on Lakeway Drive, Mt. Baker Conference Room.
Stay tuned—more updates coming your way throughout the day. And remember…
Live from Bellingham, it’s your bargaining team fighting for a fair contract!
In solidarity,
Your WSNA Bargaining Team
