Providence St. Peter Hospital - We Are Moving Onto Economic Issues!
/
On October 12 the Bargaining Team and Providence met and bargained. We were able to reach agreements on just cause, Management’s rights, grievance procedure, no strike/no lockout, successorship, and safety language. These are core articles in all union contracts and now we will be moving onto leaves of absence and economic articles like the definition of a full-time and part-time worker, EIB/PTO, and premium pay.
We anticipate Providence will push back on our economic proposals, so we must organize! We will have a car sign action on October 28 to show Providence we are united and ready to fight to keep EIB and obtain competitive wage increases. Providence Everett and Centralia and community groups will take part in our car sign action. If you are interested in distributing car signs, please contact your Union Rep—Erin McCoy @ (206)436-6598—or reach out to the Bargaining Team.
We will be having a Contract Action Team meeting on Monday, October 19 at 6:30 PM via Zoom, please join us to learn more about your union rights and contract bargaining.
“Since the PTO/EIB hours has become a threatened benefit, it has been made clear that WE needed to unionize and fight together for solidarity for one another within this tech group.”
