Our current contract between WSNA and PHPIMC expires on June 30, 2025.
The pre-negotiation survey is the first step in our preparation for contract negotiations. The information we get from the survey is the data our team uses to determine members' priorities as we head to the bargaining table. For that reason, it is crucial that we know every nurse’s issues and concerns prior to the start of the negotiations.
To be an effective, strong, and influential voice at the negotiation table, every nurse needs to be involved. Our power comes from all of us working together, united!
Take the survey now, and make sure every nurse at PHSJMC you know and work with takes it too.
In solidarity,
WSNA Local Unit Officers:
Julie Bielau – Chair
Leslie Preysz – Secretary
Zanna Cochran – Treasurer
Chris Wacholz – Grievance
Clarese Markins - Grievance

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.
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.
