EvergreenHealth Monroe - Meet Your UFCW 3000 Bargaining Team

Rosemary Mitchell is a substance use disorder family counselor and has been with Evergreen Health since 2018. This is her first time on the bargaining team.

She describes her job as serving up hope one patient at a time and saving families. “This is my dream job. I am helping build better families. I joined the bargaining team to be a voice for my coworkers. We have lost a lot of people since 2020 and none have been replaced. I love my job, we just need work-life balance which is hard when you working with a skeleton crew.”

Patty Romero is a certified surgical technologist. She’s been with the hospital for 23 years and has been at the table bargaining the last five contracts.

“I just wanted to be able make a difference on what was fair,” she says of why she joined the bargaining team.

“I am hoping for an equitable and fair contract, and that the hospital sees that we need to feel valued.  They need to acknowledge what we do and what it takes to be away our families. We were on the front lines during the worst of the pandemic while they were sitting at home on their computers when we didn’t have that choice.“

Be on the lookout for Patty and Rosemary to visit your department as they share updates on the latest bargaining developments.
