Safe Staffing Campaign "No Skeleton Crews" is Underway

National Common Spirit is failing to staff units safely and adequately. It's time for the Union to AGITATE Administration.

Who is the Union? YOU are the Union. What do Unions do when under attack? We Stand Up and Fight Back!

What can you do?

-Wear our newly created "No Skeleton Crews" stickers every day that you are understaffed. They can be found on the WSNA union bulletin boards.  If management tells you not to wear them; then ask if wearing it could lead to disciplinary action. If they say No, then continue to wear your stickers proudly. It is your protected, concerted right to wear these stickers under the rules of the National Labor Relations Board. If management say Yes, then remove the sticker and notify your WSNA Nurse Representative.

If you need more stickers, notify JStewart@wsna.org

-Continue to submit ADOs for staffing violations  https://www.wsna.org/union/ado

-Fill out a Post Card that WSNA will send in bulk to Hospital President Deepak Devasthali and CNO Andrew Baxter. 

 Bargaining unit union leaders will circulate postcards for you to fill out.

 If you'd like to volunteer to circulate postcards amongst your co-workers, let one of the union leaders know.
