This was the second session that was assisted by a PERC mediator.

We exchanged dialogue on the outstanding issues which include:

• Attaining appropriate hourly pay for Per Diem RNs that is in alignment with their hours worked at UWMC
• Fair and consistent discipline and discharge practices for the Per Diem RNs
• Ensuring that Per Diem RNs are not forced to work more hours for the same pay
• Per Diem Premium in lieu of benefits

We ask all Per Diem RNs to look at your pay stub to determine whether you are receiving your 6% Per Diem Premium that would be denoted as “Recruitment and Retention Premium Hourly.”

If you are not, please contact Ed Zercher at ezercher@wsna.org so that we can figure out why that might be.

Our next date will continue to include the PERC mediator and will take place on Feb. 22, 2019.
