Jefferson HealthCare Pro Tech & Clinic - Management Must Do Better

Management needs to recognize the importance of reasonable wages to recruit and retain workers. We work short-staffed every day. People are continuing to leave Jefferson because they are receiving sub-standard wages.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

On November 15, CFO Tyler Freeman gave a full presentation of Jefferson’s financial state. 

Management has money but wanted us to know why they are proposing lower wage increases for many workers. 

They are proposing market increases for many job classes but other jobs would receive much less. 

NOT GOOD ENOUGH! 

Management would like to reduce the benefit which is currently up to 6 months of protected leave, meaning you would come back to your current position if you or a family member were temporarily disabled. Management’s proposal is to decrease the time significantly. 

NOT GOOD ENOUGH! 

Management is unwilling to provide the same premiums for security guards that everyone else has. Management has also threatened to outsource these positions. 

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

The Union Bargaining Team wants management to recognize the hard work we all do every day! Stand together as we work to create a better workplace!.

For any questions, please reach out to any Bargaining Team member or Union Representative Ryan Degouveia at 360-662-1989.

“Clinic workers feel safer because of the mindfulness and responsiveness of the security people we have.”
