We met with management on April 15. They responded to some of our proposals but they have yet to deliver an economic proposal. We reached agreements on a few items but our bargaining team needs to see the employer’s economic proposal.

Our next scheduled bargaining dates are May 23-24 and June 11.

Our negotiating team members are Lovella Flores, Marisela Aguilar, Lori Riojas, Cheryl Bofman and Janice Schell.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the team members.

Not getting all of your breaks? Working short staffed or staying late? Feel like you are taking an unsafe patient assignment? Denied earned PTO?

Yes, there is something you can do about this. Fill out a Staffing Complaint / Assignment Despite Objection form today.

• Nurses are standing together for safe staffing and completing a Staffing Complaint/ADO form is the first step
• These forms can help make things better NOW and can help gather needed data as we prepare for contract negotiations.
• This new online form can be accessed through your phone making it simple and quick.
• Copies of the submitted online form will automatically be sent to you, your local unit chair, co/vice chair, staffing committee co-chairs, WSNA nurse rep and manager (if you designate).

You can find the online form at wsna.org/ADO. For any questions, your nurse representative is here to help. Contact WSNA Nurse Carmen Garrison, BSN, RN at cgarrrison@wsna.org or at 206-491-9424.
