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
