Providence St. Peter Hospital Case Manager RN MOU
Union Rep: Madison Derksema
Join your bargaining team for a meeting where we will meet our fellow union members, review important pieces of the new contract, answer FAQs, and open space for discussion and questions.
Following a nearly seventeen hour bargaining session with Management- beginning Monday, November 10 and concluding after midnight on Tuesday the 11- our union Bargaining Team representing the Professionals at Providence St. Peter Hospital are proud to announce that we have reached a fully recommended tentative agreement on our first union contract!
Over the course of our two sessions, we continued to make significant progress on our first Collective Bargaining Agreement; in fact, the majority of contract articles outlining general definitions of terms throughout the CBA, union administration, employer administration, work schedules, & many more, are wrapped up- totaling nearly seventy (70) individual Articles we have reached mutual agreement on.
On Wednesday, October 1, our union Professionals Bargaining Team met with Providence for our fourth (4) session of first contract negotiations. At the session prior to today (September 4) our team had officially gotten the last of our new proposals on the table- which means now our bargaining days would primarily consist of exchanging counterproposals back and forth with Providence- until we reach mutually agreed upon language (also known as tentative agreements)- & to date we have already reached more than thirty (30!) tentative agreements on individual contract articles.
On Thursday, September 18, following highly attended vote meetings at Providence St. Peter Hospital, we are proud to announce that we have overwhelmingly ratified our 2025 union contract!
After more than six months of negotiations and uniting at our Hospital, our Bargaining Team has reached a tentative agreement and recommends a YES VOTE!
On Thursday, August 28, our bargaining team for the Professionals at Providence St. Peter Hospital met with management for our first official day of contract negotiations… and a productive first day, at that!
On August 25 and 26, our UFCW 3000 nurse bargaining team met with management to continue contract negotiations, bargaining late into the night for over 30 hours across both days.
The session began with management presenting a comprehensive counter-offer covering all outstanding proposals, finally giving us a full view of where they stand. While their offer lacked meaningful movement, it did create space for productive dialogue throughout the day.
We are excited to announce we finally have 3 bargaining dates scheduled: 8/28, 9/3, and 9/4. We will report out via email after the bargaining dates to update everyone. Thank you all for your questions regarding the bargaining process. We are eager and ready to begin.
When paychecks arrived in early September at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma, Medical-Surgical Nurse Nicole Geffrey noticed something wasn’t right.
This summer, hospitals across the state took a few more big steps toward implementing Washington’s safer staffing law, a union member-led measure to help nurses deliver the level of care their patients deserve.
At St. Michael Medical Center in Silverdale, WA, medical-surgical nurse Meredith Francisco, who served on the new staffing committee, says the process worked out well enough. However, as many of us suspected when the landmark legislation passed in 2023, she and other nurses see room for improvement. Workers also voice serious concerns about loopholes that hospital managers already appear to be exploiting.
In the face of mass dismissals in the public and private sectors, plus a new federal administration bent on stripping away workers’ rights, it can be hard to know how best to protect ourselves, our families, and our communities. But in an article for The Chronicle, Steven Trifft, an environmental services worker at Providence Centralia Health Center, lays out a pretty convincing path forward…
