As a new nurse—or new to being a union nurse—facing a negotiation campaign can feel like you're sailing through uncharted waters. Rumors and tall tales can stir up the seas, making it hard to find your bearings. Uncertainty about what's ahead might leave you feeling like you're caught in a maelstrom, adrift without a compass. But fear not! You have an experienced and dedicated bargaining crew ready to help you steer through these waters (second star to the right, and straight on 'til morning).

To help guide you through the negotiation process, clarify what to expect on the horizon, and give you an inside look at how we navigate bargaining, we invite you to a special event hosted by the bargaining team. Join us at 7 Seas Brewery in Tacoma on 9/30/2024 from 1700-2100 (details below). There will be free food and non-alcoholic beverages, and if you fancy a pint, the brewery will have beer available for purchase. RSVP for the event here.

Whether it’s your day off, you’re heading in for your night shift (no drinking!), or just getting off work, feel free to swing by! This event is designed for new nurses and those new to the union, but we encourage all St. Joe's WSNA nurses to attend. It’s a great chance to meet your bargaining team, connect with colleagues, and enjoy a relaxing evening together.

7 Seas Brewery is a locally owned, union-friendly establishment located at 2101 Jefferson Ave, Tacoma, WA 98402, just 0.7 miles from SJMC. If you plan to indulge in alcohol, please arrange safe transportation home.
