Latest update
Contract ratified!
Posted Apr 16, 2025
We are pleased to announce that the RN and LPN contracts have been unanimously ratified, receiving 100% YES votes!
Thanks for your patience and assistance as we worked to make sure your contact information was correct for our first electronic vote. We had 20 of 23 eligible voters submit their electronic ballot - 87% participation. That's excellent!
We would like to extend our gratitude for the hard work and dedication of the negotiating team: Carey Young, Ashley Hancock and Sara Ziegelmann. One way you can thank them for their hours of volunteer time is to donate PTO to these leaders. Even one donated hour helps. Find the PTO donation form in the document bar above.
Please reach out with questions or to discuss how you can be more involved in WSNA. We will be holding WSNA officer elections in the near future.
Questions? Contact WSNA Nurse Representative Janet Stewart at jstewart@wsna.org subbing for Brenda Balogh.

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.
