Contract ratified

By an overwhelming majority, members have ratified their contract. The solidarity and strength of WSNA members led to this historic victory. Thanks to Amy Blackburn, Ahmir Buen, Oakley Myers and Katy Heffernan for being willing to witness and certify the count Friday night with members of the negotiating team.

Now the real work begins: All of us must participate in our union and make staffing and working conditions better. Sign up for committees, complete Staffing Complaint/ADO forms and continue the dialogue with each other and your WSNA Local Unit Officers.

In Unity from your Negotiating Team,

Linda Burbank, Janet Stewart, Melissa Garcia, Sally Budack, Tiffany Repar, Richie Tiamzon, Francine Gumina, Matthew McGuire, Rachael DeSouza, and Chelsey Roos
