Our Union Bargaining Team is preparing for a crucial day of negotiations with MultiCare tomorrow.

As mentioned in last week’s update, our team submitted proposals to the employer during our last session that aimed to create momentum towards a fair agreement. We believe it was a significant step towards resolving our differences, intended as an olive branch to facilitate constructive dialogue.

Tomorrow, MultiCare will have the opportunity to respond to our proposals. Their response will be pivotal: a positive reply could lead to substantial progress, while a negative one will reinforce concerns our bargaining team has about the Unfair Labor Practices committed by the employer at our recent informational picket, which have added strain to an already challenging bargaining environment.

To provide a real-time bargaining update, we have scheduled a telephone town hall for tomorrow at 8 PM.

During this town hall call, we will discuss the outcome of the bargaining session and our next steps. We will automatically call the number we have on file for each member, so simply pick up the phone on Thursday at 8 PM to join.

If you miss it or do not receive the call, you can join by dialing 844-227-7557 and entering Meeting ID 8036.

To ensure you get updates and calls like this in the future, make sure we have your up-to-date contact information on file.
