After seven months of bargaining, we have reached a tentative agreement with MultiCare! The Bargaining Team unanimously recommends a “YES” vote on this agreement.

Highlights of the agreement include:

• Three-year contract,

• Historic wage increases at ratification with partial retro,

• Significant wage scale restructure that puts more money in member’s pockets,

• Increases to several wage premiums,

• No healthcare premium increases in 2022 with caps on future years,

• Improved schedule posting language,

• Streamlined process to report staffing issues to administration,

• And so much more!

The full details of the agreement will be made available during our vote meetings on August 11 via Zoom. Vote meetings are a great opportunity to learn more about the agreement and have your questions answered, however, voting will not take place at these meetings.
