Grievance Update: Fighting for Missed Bonus Shift Pay
We've filed a grievance regarding missed bonus pay for nurses who signed up for bonus shifts and were later canceled. Under the previous contract, these nurses should still have received bonus pay, but the Hospital claims otherwise.
We strongly disagree and are fighting for backpay. If you've been affected, please gather any documentation of bonus shifts you picked up but were canceled. Your records are important for determining the liability.
If you receive discipline or are called into an investigatory meeting, notice changes to your workplace conditions, or have other contract questions, please contact your Union Rep Kimberly Starkweather (206) 436-6515.
