Your Bargaining Team met with Management again on February 8 and 10.

Management is starting to get more aggressive at the table, for example, they proposed to make some significant changes to the current process of awarding extra shifts. They also made an attack on our recognized holidays, proposing to eliminate President’s Day from our contract.

Your Bargaining Team responded to Management by proposing to ADD additional holidays to our contract. We also make a strong proposal to address floating between facilities, asking that moving between MultiCare campuses be completely voluntary and that doing so would trigger a wage premium.

“You asked us to address floating, we made sure your voice was heard.”

— Wanda Rodriguez-Ramos

Our next bargaining date is Tuesday February 16, followed by 22 and 26. We are working with the Employer to additional bargaining dates in March.
