On January 19, 2022, our PRMCE Professionals Bargaining Team reached a tentative agreement on our contract. Emergency Department Crisis Counselors are eligible to vote on this contract as a newly organized unit. This is the culmination of a lot of hard work, and we encourage everyone to participate.

The three year agreement includes:

• Wages to match Transition Planner II

• Additional compensation for fully licensed crisis counselors

• Bonus upon ratification and one year later

• Full benefits of a union contract!

  We’re happy to welcome the ED Crisis Counselors to our union! 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.”
