Lactation Consultants reach a Tentative Agreement!

MOU Vote

We recommend a “YES” vote at our in-person ratification vote.

August 29, 2023

4:00pm to 8:00pm

TBA

Yesterday management finally agreed to place the Lactation Consultant nurses on the same wage scale as all other WSNA nurses at SJMC. That means these nurses will be receiving significant wage increases some of which will be more than a 50% increase. This is a great example of the difference a union makes in the lives of workers. Thank you to everyone who supported these nurses and signed the petition demanding they be treated equitably.

We recommend a “YES” vote at our in-person ratification vote.

We will have a copy of the complete agreement at the vote.

Date: August 29, 2023

Time: 4:00 to 8:00 pm.

Place: TBD

In solidarity: Jo Anne Slaybaugh, Crystal Jarvis, Brianna Payne, Matthew McGuire, Emily Nollmeyer, Sally Budack, Shelly Mead, Yunna Flenord, Teresa Kindell, Carina Price, Rachel Wachter, Shannon Suchland
