Grievance update

Your Local Bargaining Unit Officers, WSNA Representative and Hospital Management have worked collaboratively throughout the Grievance Process to ensure the language of the Contract surrounding Annual Leave and Sick Leave is followed correctly.

The outcome of the Grievance is as follows:
VMMC will allow bargaining unit members to choose whether to use accrued, unused annual leave or unpaid leave to cover missed scheduled hours after exhausting their accrued sick leave.

For questions, please contact one of your Officers or Terri Williams, MS, RN; WSNA Nurse Representative.
