Last Chance to Sign the Petition

Please sign the petition telling hospital administration that we deserve a contract that allows us to take care of our patients, our families, and ourselves!. Most of the units in the hospital are working understaffed, potentially creating unsafe conditions for patients and staff and putting nurses’ licenses at risk. Most nurses have to rely on the break buddy system to get their breaks, which doubles a nurse’s workload when they cover for their buddy. Some units don’t have problems with staffing and breaks and that’s a decent start – apparently, we need to fight to make management provide these necessities for every Good Sam nurse. Demonstrate your support and unity with your fellow nurses who are in desperate need for better working conditions and sign your name on the petition today:

Join us as we deliver the petition to Hospital Administration. Contact WSNA Organizer Grace at GLamonte@wsna.org.

Negotiations Observers

Come spend the day with us in Negotiations as an Observer – see how management responds to our demands for safe staffing and for yourself. Contact Grace GLamonte@wsna.org to join or if you have questions.

ADOs – Staffing Complaint Forms

Fill out an ADO (Assignment Despite Objection form) to document unsafe staffing, missed breaks, inadequate equipment, lack of support staff and more every time it happens.

It’s quick and easy and critical to prove to management that nurses are missing breaks and are working in situations that are potentially unsafe for our patients, our health, and our licenses. https://ado.wsna.org/

Good Sam Tower Expansion

Until Good Sam can staff the beds we currently have, we have concerns about MultiCare adding even more beds. If you would like to submit written testimony about your experiences with unsafe staffing for the upcoming Department of Health public hearing, please contact WSNA Nurse Representative Janet Stewart at JStewart@wsna.org. The hearing date is not yet announced.
