Providence Sacred Heart Technical - Contract Vote Scheduled
/
After nearly 8 months of negotiations for a new contract that respects our work and dedication, and that will allow us to retain and recruit staff—we are holding a contract vote. This notice serves to inform all members that a critical membership meeting will be held on May 31, 2024, at the Hampton Inn in the Rockwood Retreat Room 3. We will be conducting a vote on the last offer presented by the Employer following our scheduled bargaining dates on May 28 and 29, 2024.
The Agenda, Times, and Location for the meeting will be:
1. CONTRACT RATIFICATION VOTE: The bargaining team will present the last offer received from Providence. Members will have the opportunity to discuss the terms and implications of the offer before proceeding to a vote on whether to ratify or reject the proposed contract.
2. STRIKE AUTHORIZATION VOTE: There will also be a strike authorization vote at the below place and time. This vote is subject to cancellation if the last employer offer is recommended by your bargaining team.
3. VOTE TIMES AND LOCATION: Any member in good standing will be able to vote at the Hampton Inn (Rockwood Retreat Room 3) located at 675 McClellan St., Spokane, WA any time between 6:30 AM to 7:30 PM on May 31, 2024.
For questions, please contact your bargaining team or Union Representative Juanita Quezada, (509) 340-7407.
All members in the Providence Sacred Heart Technical Unit are encouraged to be part of this important vote. Your voice and vote are essential in guiding the next steps we will take as a Union.
Providence knows they must make meaningful improvements to their wages and benefits if they want to be competitive in the market and retain and recruit qualified staff.
If you feel like we do, and believe that we’ve been patient long enough, call your rep, sign up for steward training, raise your voice, talk to your coworkers, and prepare to come get your yard signs to show Providence we are everywhere, and it is time for them to DO THE RIGHT THING.
