Don’t Miss Your Chance to be Heard

Nurses are known for speaking up for their patients, now it’s time to speak up for yourselves.

The bargaining survey is now open, and this is our opportunity to help shape the priorities for our upcoming negotiations. Before a bargaining team is selected and proposals are developed, we need to hear directly from the nurses who make up our bargaining unit.

This survey is one of the most important ways for members to share their experiences, concerns, and ideas for improvement. Whether your priorities include staffing, wages, scheduling, benefits, workplace safety, or other workplace issues, your input will help guide the direction of negotiations.

Take the survey now

We encourage you to be honest and thoughtful in your responses. The more accurate feedback we receive, the better prepared we will be to represent the needs of our nurses at the bargaining table.

Every response strengthens our collective voice. When more members participate, we gain a clearer picture of what matters most across the unit and can advocate effectively for meaningful improvements.

The survey closes on March 20, so please take a few minutes to complete it before the deadline.

Reminder: Please complete the survey during your break or meal period.

Your voice helps shape our priorities, strengthens our unity, and ensures that the concerns of nurses across the unit are heard. Together, we can build a stronger contract that reflects the needs and dedication of the nurses who provide care every day.

Together, our voices are stronger.

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.
