Day 5 Negotiations
Posted Mar 11, 2025
Support your bargaining team!
Your bargaining team has completed the fifth day of bargaining. We have had some productive discussions with management and were able to come to 2 additional TAs (tentative agreements) during this session. These agreements will secure important needed improvements in language and processes that effect the nurses at Sunnyside. We would like to hear from staff members regarding break adherence, patient ratios, and Charge RN coverage.
If you would like to share your experiences, please reach out to one of your officers or your WSNA Nurse Rep. Jennifer Jackson, jjackson@wsna.org.

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.
