Our historic win at MultiCare this year has sparked excitement from non-union workers at MultiCare worksites across the state. Our Union has shown that when workers fight together, they win together! Recently, we welcomed two more MultiCare units that have joined our union to make our fight stronger: Mary Bridge Diabetes Educator RNs and Women's Centers Workers.

Mary Bridge Diabetes Educator RNs recognized that unionizing would give them a stronger voice in decisions impacting their work and the well-being of their patients. The educators unanimously voted to join our union, demonstrating their collective commitment to achieving equality and fairness in their workplace.

"As a nurse, joining a union gives me the power to advocate for better working conditions and ensure my patients receive the quality care they deserve. It's about equality, knowing my voice is heard, and I'm treated fairly alongside my colleagues. Being part of a union also means I have protection from unfair practices and the reassurance that my job is secure. On top of that, unions fight for fair pay and reimbursement, so I'm compensated for the hard work and dedication I bring to my profession every day."

— Tonia Ruzyla, a Diabetes Educator

MultiCare Women's Centers Workers faced many obstacles, including misinformation about contract negotiations from the Employer. They persevered in their efforts to join UFCW 3000s MultiCare Clinics Contract. Their dedication paid off when they won their union election by a landslide, a testament to their determination to secure a fair and supportive work environment.

"We wanted to unionize so that we knew there was someone in our corner, to help protect our rights as employees and help us fight for what we deserve in our jobs."

— Heather Guptil, a Medical Assistant
