June 27 Green Book Wage Re-Opener Update

There was another negotiation session today between our union and Essentia Health over the Year 3 raise for the Green Book contract. We were able to get the employer off there insulting proposal for only a 1% raise, at least a little bit. But now they're proposing to compress the wage grid. We were way too far apart to reach an agreement today, so we're going to have to schedule more negotiation dates. Stay tuned.
