January 22, 2021 – Bargaining Update

Your Bargaining Committee is scheduled for negotiations with the Medical Center on February 2, 2021. We will once again insist on terms for a fair and equitable labor contract. 

As the Coronavirus savagely ravishes through the hospital risking our lives, our families’ lives,  and the lives of those around us, the Medical Center has shown little interest in providing us - united and strong essential workers - any hazard, pay, retro pay or a decent wage increase. We won’t stand for this. The Union is taking the Medical Center to task for their disrespect and disregardfor our labor agreement.

We have filed a grievance and are considering other actions for management’s refusal to follow our contract when they created the Nursing Tech/PCA position.

We will continue to stand together in unity and empowered, demanding simply what we deserve as loyal and committed employees - a fair and equitable contract!
