PRMCE RN - Community Outreach is Key!
/Bargaining continues, and we need to stay strong and united. On September 20, we returned to the bargaining table with high hopes. Unfortunately, our efforts to reach a tentative agreement on previously agreed-upon articles from expedited bargaining were met with rejection from the Hospital's Management team. It's clear that they lack urgency in reaching an agreement, and we believe they're bargaining in bad faith.
However, on September 21, we took our cause to the community. Community organizations, other unions, and the media joined us at the Everett Labor Temple. The community showed tremendous support for our fight, and they're ready to distribute yard signs and stand with us on the picket line if it comes to that. Building solidarity with others is crucial in our fight for a fair contract.
If you or your family are part of an organization, attend a place of worship, or own a business, please let us know so we can provide you with signs to distribute. Also, please share our podcast with your relatives and friends:

To get involved in our collective effort and distribute signs in your neighborhood, contact Anthony Cantu at (206) 436-6566.
Our upcoming Bargaining sessions are scheduled for September 26, and October 10 and 11. We eagerly await PRMCE's response to our proposal.
