Negotiation update

We want to thank the SDS nurses for their very compelling testimony of what it is like to be required to float to the Main OR without the adequate amount of training or orientation. Also, thanks to the nurses who took the time to write their testimonies that were read by the Team.

Otherwise, it was a disappointing day. After WSNA made considerable movement during the last session, it was thought that management would respond in kind. Unfortunately, that did not happen.

We will meet on February 1 with a mediator and management. Stay tuned for the next steps. Be sure to wear your blue shirts and be ready for more action.
