Bargaining Update January 21, 2025

Union Siblings,

On Monday, January 20th, your Bargaining Committee and the Medical Center met for the 20th session for negotiations.

Bargaining Update December 24, 2024

Unfortunately, the hospital continues to insist we accept contract language that would seriously undermine our union and your rights.
