Our union negotiating team reached a tentative agreement with St. Luke's yesterday regarding the hospital tech workers.

We will have have a day long contract Q & A / contract ratification vote from 7am to 8pm.  We'll be holding presentations on the proposed contract at 11:30am, 2pm, 3:30pm and 7:45pm, but you can swing by anytime in between as well to read over the tentative agreement and to vote.

We'll be meeting in the Emergency Department & Urgent Care patient waiting area of St. Luke's Hospital.  You must be present to vote.  We hope to see you there!
