We met with Management Tuesday and delivered our economic proposals:

• A two-year contract

• Daily overtime for work past your scheduled shift

• Wage increases retroactive to June 1

• Moving to increases twice a year: June 1, and your anniversary

• Adding Juneteenth (June 19) as a recognized, paid holiday

• Reinstating retirement matching contributions

• Premiums for receiving training in specialty skills

• Expansions to bereavement and sick leave

• Minimum wage escalators to keep all scales above the minimums

• Improvements to bilingual premium

• Severance in the event of layoff or closure

Additionally we have made proposals to improve incentives and rotation of on-call work for clinicians!

We were able to reach Tentative Agreements (TAs) on:

• Innovative work schedules beyond the standard 5 – 7.5 hour days

• 30 day notice if asked to return to the office from a telecommuting agreement

• Expanded grievance timelines

• Clarifications to job posting language and management rights
