On September 12, we were able to reach a tentative agreement with Providence Everett management. In our first bargaining session, Providence told us they were not interested in placing newly organized employees onto the wage scale dependent on their years of experience. We brought to their attention that new hires will have their years of experience recognized upon hire, but the newly organized employees would be treated differently. 

After that first session, Providence proposed recognizing all newly organized employees’ years of experience for their placement onto the existing Professional wage scale! Employees will be receiving at least a 10% increase upon ratification and receiving all the benefits of the existing Professional contract! 

On September 20, we will be voting on the contract from 2:00PM to 6:00PM at Providence Everett Pacific Campus. If you have any questions, please reach out to your union representative, Sharra Oakley 206-436-6614.
