Hey WSNA Nurses!
This week, we are preparing for the WSNA leadership conference in Wenatchee April 26 through 28. Seven of our bargaining team members will learn and network with the other WSNA leaders that have had hard fought contracts settled over the last year. This includes union nurses from Children's, UW, Kadlec, MultiCare and Peace Health facilities. We will share what we glean in our next newsletter!
Bargaining Dates:
No dates as of today, but we are narrowing in on the latter half of June. TBD Don't forget to take the survey! https://wsna.to/VMMCnego2026
Bargainer Spotlight:
We asked our WSNA Chair, Hannah Collins-Lewis to give us the news from Prog and introduce herself to those of you who don't already know her. This is what she had to say:
“I’ve been a progressive care nurse for 11 years and at VM since 2018. I was on the bargaining team in 2023 for our last contract and serve as your union chair. I’ve found advocating for my colleagues to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my nursing career. It is vital to hold corporate healthcare systems accountable for their shortcomings — we are doing the caregiving, we deserve to have our voices heard and our profession respected.
Beyond the bedside and bargaining table, you’ll find me playing with my doodle pup, Daphne & her cat sister, Ginger. I enjoy reading, gardening, getting crafty, and spending time in the great outdoors!”
Hannah was a delight and added to our ever growing selection of pictures to make our Union pet calendar.
Don't forget to take the survey! See you next week with another spotlight!
The bargaining survey is how we set our priorities at the table this summer, if you haven't already, please complete it here:

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.
