PRMCE Professionals • Tentative Agreement Reached Bargaining Team Unanimously Recommends a Yes Vote

/

On January 19, 2022 our bargaining team reached a tentative agreement on our contract. This expedited bargaining process has been successful and resulted in big wins for the professionals without any takeaways. 

The three-year agreement includes:

  • Significant across the board wage increases

  • Market adjustments for most classifications

  • Improvements to step progressions on the wage scales

  • Bonus upon ratification and one year later

  • Increases to education funds and tuition reimbursement

  • Improvements to grievance procedure

  • Improvements to Bereavement Leave

  • New language in case of department merger or restructure

  • New BSN pay provision

  • AND NO TAKEAWAYS!

“We feel like this contract acknowledges the hard work healthcare workers have put in through the pandemic. Management really stepped up throughout these negotiations to show appreciation for PRMCE professionals in this contract. We believe these gains will help with retention and recruitment, and we encourage everyone to vote YES.”
