Capital Medical Center RN - Tentative Agreement Reached
/
Our Bargaining Team: Bonnie Velleren, Carol Cairone, Cindy Dixon, Dennis Velleren, Elisabeth Hilderbrand
After a successful action of a petition in support of a strong contract and after a long day of bargaining we are excited to announce that we have settled a historic agreement that we believe is strong and equitable for all!
What We Won:
Strong wages that can help recruit and retain qualified Nurses!
New wage scale that eliminates 5 ghost steps and put us equal or above Providence St. Peters Hospital
A committee to discuss Call language and policies
Health and Safety Language
Increase premiums including Float pay, excessive call pay, night shift and others.
Safe staffing language
And other great wins!
Keep an eye out for ratification vote meetings!
“We are proud of the work we did, not only is it a landmark agreement but we were able to settle before the contract expiration date.”
— Bonnie Verellen
“Management tried to take some things away but with the support of our coworkers we were able to fight back and win a strong contract.”
— Cindy Dixon
“Not only did we get wages that will help us recruit and retain good nurses, but we got a wage scale that matches Providence St. Peters and eliminates 5 ghost steps.”
— Dennis Velleren
“We fought for the majority and the minorities. We wanted to make sure that not only the big departments get their issues brought to the table but so were some of the smaller departments!”
— Elisabeth Hilderbrand
