Skagit Nurses – Keep Showing Up!
Posted Jun 28, 2024
Boy, did WSNA nurses show up this morning at the District’s Board of Commissioners meeting. Not only did we show up, we filled the room and spilled out in the hallway (where 3 security guards were posted!), with more WSNA nurses and supporters participating through Zoom (somehow, the usually open “chat” feature was dismantled at some point…)! Bargaining team members Liz Rainaud and Kyla Malean and WSNA nurse Tara Sharrow spoke passionately about how Skagit must focus on its commitment to patient care and to wage equity, and both of those principles have their foundations in recruiting, retaining, and respecting Skagit nurses.
This morning, we emailed the Commissioners this letter signed by each bargaining team member. Skagit nurses, it’s time to cosign.
Use this link to add your signature to the letter to the Board of Commissioners. We want as many Skagit RNs as possible to cosign this letter at the same time as we expand actions to bring more awareness to the community we serve and in which we live.
Questions or comments, contact WSNA Organizer: Crystal Doll CDoll@wsna.org or at 206 334-8388, or Nurse Representative: Sue Dunlap SDunlap@wsna.org, or any of your bargaining team members.
In solidarity,
Liz Rainaud, FBC and WSNA local unit chair
Rachel Yates, Family Medicine and WSNA local unit treasurer
Kim McCann, FBC and WSNA local unit membership officer
Kyla Malean , OR and Negotiating team member
Lacey Bernick, PERI OP and Negotiating team member

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.
