We Have a Tentative Agreement for the Mary Bridge Case Managers!
Posted Apr 17, 2026
Yesterday, April 16, your bargaining team of NICU and Case Management RNs reached a tentative agreement for the Mary Bridge Case Managers to join our union and be folded into the contract. We are so excited to expand our Union and welcome in the Case Managers who will now have the rights, privileges, and Union wages all workers deserve.
With this TA Case Managers will be placed on the step scale we ratified in February with Case Managers seeing up to a $16/hour raise by joining the Union.
Here are the highlights from the TA
- Case Managers will now also begin accruing seniority with their seniority retroactively reflected by their current length of service.
- Additionally, we added “intra-unit” seniority for the purposes of job postings. Meaning that a NICU or CM nurse will have priority when applying for a job in their unit.
- Case Managers will receive a $1000 (pro-rated to FTE) ratification bonus as it will take the employer four full pay periods to move them from salary to the hourly wage scale.
- Case Managers who work 40 hour weeks will be able to enter into a “flex time” agreement to meet the needs and realities of their job.
Voting Information
As this affects everyone in the bargaining unit, we will be holding a ratification vote for all members in good standing on April 23 from 0600-1600. This vote will be electronic and ballots will be sent to your personal email. Your bargaining team recommends a YES vote. We will have a redline of the agreement attached to the ballot and online before the vote.
Welcome our new Union peers and show your support by voting on 4/23/2026.
In Solidarity, your bargaining team,
Crystal Anderson, RN, NICU
Michele Christiansen, RN, NICU
Michelle Olstad, RN, Case Management
Susan Young, RN, Case Management

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.
