Extended Callback MOU Vote Passes Unanimously
Posted May 30, 2024
The vote on the extended callback MOU was held yesterday, May 29, and the vote was 100% in favor of adding the MOU to the contract. Thank you to all who came and made your voices heard.
The MOU will take effect once signed by all parties. Once again, a huge shout out to RN Ngan Van who brought this issue to our attention and stood up to ensure that nurses receive a fair wage when working extended callback hours. Thank you, Ngan!
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.
