Bargaining Update: Live from the Negotiating Table!
Posted Jan 17, 2025
Savvy Bailly ICU, Yeline Cerezo OSS
Today marks our second day at the bargaining table, and we’re not slowing down. With the weekend ahead, we want to keep you informed now and will share more updates next week.
We’ve already made bold proposals to address key issues that impact our work and our patients. Here’s the update so far!
- TENTATIVE AGREEMENT! Floating Order: Management agreed to our proposal in which travelers float first, protecting permanent staff from constant disruption.
- We proposed Baylor Shifts: Creating dedicated weekend-only Baylor shift positions in which nurses work two x 12-hour shifts but get paid for 36 hours.
- Hospital Resource Pool (HRP): Formalizing the HRP
- Staffing Committee & Grievance Process: Strengthening the language to hold management accountable and empower nurses.
We’ve met with Management once already, and expect to meet again before we end today. We plan on putting down our economic proposals later today.
Come observe today for the rest of the afternoon (until 5 or so)! We’re in the Resource Center classroom. Contact any officer or Rep Jared Richardson at jrichardson@wsna.org for details.
In solidarity,

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.
