A time for unity and recognition
Posted Jan 7, 2020
Recognize our hard work over the past year at the WSNA Strike HQ Open House.
Show your ongoing unity and support for our Providence union coalition partners by attending the Candlelight Vigil tomorrow evening at 5 p.m.
While our bargaining team reached a tentative agreement with Providence Sacred Heart this morning, SEIU Healthcare 1199NW and UFCW 21 continue their bargaining – including at Sacred Heart and Holy Family.
We continue to stand with SEIU and UFCW
Today, the three unions bargaining contracts with Providence-run hospitals, released a unity statement, articulating our ongoing commitment:
Unity of Unions Leads to Tentative Agreement for WSNA – Coalition Continues Push for Agreements at All Providence Hospitals
This morning the Washington State Nurses Association (WSNA) announced the reaching of a Tentative Agreement in contract negotiations with Providence at Sacred Heart in Spokane. Over 13,000 nurses and health care workers of our three unions have been in contract negotiations with Providence for months to protect patient care and safety. SEIU Healthcare 1199 NW, UFCW 21, and WSNA stand united for patient care and safety, and our unity has made us strong. This was the key to reaching the Tentative Agreement at Sacred Heart with WSNA. Now we will continue our hard work and unity to ensure that every worker at Providence gets a fair contract that helps protect patient care and safety and improves the working conditions at all these Providence hospitals across Washington.
Now is the time to show our support for the service and maintenance workers at Sacred Heart and Holy Family, represented by UFCW 21, as they continue tough negotiations for fair contracts.
