Effective through March 31, 2026
Rep: Charlie King
Following just over a month since our last bargaining date with the Employer, we started off our third session ready to continue working with Management on our 2026 – 2029 contract.
On Wednesday, April 1, our Union Bargaining Team representing the Pharmacists at St. Joseph Medical Center met with Management for our ninth session of contract negotiations. Following several weeks since our most recent bargaining date before today- we started off the morning eager to hear Management’s response to the end-of-day package we’d presented last session.
Our Bargaining Team worked diligently across several prep sessions to finalize all of our proposals, which we then presented at our initial session on March 4; this included both non-economic (including clarifiers on our Just Cause protections, equal opportunity language, and the PTO approval process and holiday work rotations), as well as economic (like premiums, differentials, health insurance benefits, and of course- wages!) sections.
