As you are aware, the meeting that was planned for us to talk directly to our top leadership on Monday Nov 2 was cancelled because the DOSH investigators were on our doorstep bright and early. They told us that they would be agreeable to reschedule the meeting for Wednesday, Nov. 4. We received word late yesterday that they would again need to reschedule. This time, they say, “we are really busy with the continued DOSH investigation, and now, the DOH requirement for mandatory testing”. We are looking forward to continuing our advocacy and demand for answers. The new Mandatory Testing Requirement is now added to our list.

They have now agreed to meet with us on Thursday afternoon, but only for a meeting that would include 7-10 staff RNs rather than the open invitation to the entire staff of the 7th and 4th floor.

We, the local unit leaders, are discussing a plan and selecting the RNs who will represent the RN needs for all. Stay tuned and stay strong!

In Solidarity,
WSNA Local Unit Officers; Dian Davis, Allie Jones, Sally Budack, Linda Burbank, Janet Stewart, Mathew McGuire, Melissa Garcia, Liberty Bolante
