Bargaining Update
Posted Sep 11, 2025
On Tuesday, your bargaining team met for the first time to prepare for our upcoming negotiations. We trained together, built our team, and dug into the results of the pre-negotiation survey. Thank you to everyone who has already filled it out. Every single response has been read, and your input will guide the priorities we take to the bargaining table.
If you have not yet completed the survey, there is still time. The survey will remain open until negotiations begin, and new responses will be reviewed at our next prep session on 9/19. You can complete the survey by clicking the link below.
Bargaining Boot Camp
Join us for bargaining boot camps on 9/27 and 10/4 at Titlow Park from 1300–1600. These family-friendly events are open to all WSNA nurses, their families, and well-behaved pets from Tacoma General and Mary Bridge NICU. Come learn how negotiations work, enjoy activities for all ages, and spend time together in solidarity with your coworkers. Snacks and drinks will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there.
Protect Trans Kids Rally – 9/12 at 1600 in Wright Park
MultiCare has announced that starting 9/12/2025 it will no longer provide gender affirming care for minors. We strongly oppose this decision and call on MultiCare to reverse course. As nurses, we follow evidence-based practice, and the evidence is clear: gender affirming care saves lives. It improves mental health, reduces suicidal ideation, and leads to better outcomes for our patients. Stand with us tomorrow at Wright Park and make your voice heard at the Protect Trans Kids Rally.
Remembering 9/11
Today marks 24 years since the tragic events of 9/11/2001. Thousands of lives were lost, and the impact continues to shape our country. We honor the memory of those who died, and we remember the sacrifices of those who served in the decades of war that followed.
Together, we are stronger.
When nurses stand united, we win safe staffing, fair contracts, and better care for our patients. Thank you for being part of this fight.
In Solidarity,

Resources and tools
Document unsafe conditions
If you find yourself in a situation that you believe creates unsafe conditions for patients or for you, you should complete a Staffing Complaint / ADO Form as soon as possible.
By completing the form, you will help make the problem known to management, creating an opportunity for the problem to be addressed. Additionally, you will be documenting the facts, which may be helpful to you later if there is a negative outcome.
WSNA also uses your ADO forms to track the problems occurring in your facility. When you and your coworkers take the important step of filling out an ADO form, you are helping to identify whether there is a pattern of unsafe conditions for you or your patients at your facilities. This information is used by your conference committee, staffing committee, and WSNA labor staff to improve your working conditions.
Representation rights
As a union member, you have the right to have a representative present in any meetings with management that could potentially lead to disciplinary action against you.
If called into a meeting with management, read the following to management when the meeting begins:
If this discussion could in any way lead to my being disciplined or terminated, I respectfully request that my union representative be present at this meeting. Without representation present, I choose not to participate in this discussion.
Find out more about this crucial right and how to exercise it to ensure your fair treatment and protection.
