Providence St. Peter Hospital Professionals Contract
/ UFCW 3000Union Rep:
Madison Derksema
We bargained three days this week June 9 – 11 and will return to the bargaining table July 27 -28. This week our team focused on prioritizing our many language proposals and made significant process. We received the outstanding information requests from the Employer, which allowed us to cost potential proposals regarding health care and engage in continued conversation around the UFCW 3000 pension plan for nurses.
Jenny C., a transporter at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, knows what it looks like when management hopes a problem will just go away.
Jenny has watched the facility's transport elevators malfunction for more than a year, filing report after report after each incident she witnessed. Supervisors did not appear to take these complaints seriously.
Our Bargaining Team met with the Employer on May 27 to officially kick off negotiations. During this session, we presented the Employer with a full package of both non-economic and economic proposals.
At the CAT meeting we will plan our Solidarity Actions for the week of June 2-5. Let’s be creative and share what message you would like to see on a sticker. We will wear our stickers through June 9-11 to show support for our barging team while they are at the table.
