On March 11 and 12, the Nurses at Providence Everett and the Technical Workers at Providence St. Peter’s overwhelmingly voted to reject Providence’s latest proposal! While Providence Everett RNs are fighting for improvements to an existing contract, Providence St. Peter’s is fighting for a first contract for the Technical unit.

Providence is proposing to retire the EIB program, reduce PTO for more senior employees, and offering below market wage increases at both bargaining tables. We have notified Providence that both units are not interested in their latest proposal. Providence Centralia is also bargaining a first contract for the Service and Technical units and will be prepared to vote down if they receive the same proposals.

Back in 2019, the Providence units all stood together and fought to keep their EIB/PTO by taking workplace actions together and a strike authorization vote across the state. It is clear to our four bargaining teams that we need to take UNITED action once again!

We will be bargaining with Providence St. Peter’s on March 19 and April 6 and will be going to mediation with Providence Everett on April 12 and April 16.

Please join one of our meetings to find out more and hear about our next steps. Contact your Bargaining Team or Union Rep, Anthony Cantu (PRMCE) and Erin McCoy (PSPH), for call-in details. Details will also be emailed out.
