Your Negotiating Committee met with the Hospital all day today to continue negotiations. Much discussion around the Union’s wage proposals took place, but no agreement was reached.

We are scheduled to meet again next week - March 19th. We are hopeful that we will have more substantive information to report following those negotiations.

We have continued being creative and flexible in our efforts to secure fair wage increases and recognition for your sacrifices over the course of this last difficult year. The Hospital is deliberating over our last proposal, and owes the Union a more formal response when we reconvene.

Continue to let your supervisors know that they need to run the message up the ladder – WE DESERVE RECOGNITION FOR OUR SACRIFICES SERVING THE LBMMC COMMUNITY.

Nothing is stronger than working people focused and acting in solidarity to achieve a common goal – and we are united in our demands for JUSTICE AND DIGNITY at LBMMC.

BE SAFE!

In Unity from Your USW Local 2801 Negotiating Committee,
Bridgette Perry, Ana Figueroa, Milton Lomas & the Team from the USW Int’l Union
