We had 3 very productive days of negotiations with management. We provided a comprehensive initial proposal on the second day. We have several tentative agreements (TAs) and continue to work through counter proposals.

We've had collaborative, open discussions across the table. Our next session is scheduled for October 17.

How you can help:

We understand that the current insurance carrier, UMR, and Family Care Network no longer have a contract. Please fill out this simple survey so we can show management's benefits team how many RNs were affected by this change. It takes 16 seconds to complete.

Follow your bargaining unit on Instagram for updates and tag us to show your support!

Remember to thank your negotiating team, who are using their days off and PTO to bargain this contract: Austin Bordeleau, Holly Swanson, Kelsey Sousa, Robyn Tilton, Sara Langrock, Shannon Lauder and Shawna Smith. You can use the PTO form on our local unit page to help them meet their FTE while in bargaining.

If you have any questions, check in with WSNA Resource Nurse Representative Carmen Garrison at cgarrison@wsna.org.
