Harbor Regional Health Bargaining Update

Bargaining Team: Debi Sturm, Bambi Shope, Eric Timmons, Janet Byrd, Ana Garcia, Daniel James.

We focused on economics Friday as we bargained with management. Their initial wage proposal did not align with other local hospitals. Our response was a market-competitive proposal that takes into account the rising cost of living and the challenges of retaining and recruiting workers. We talked about  differentials and premiums, along with the role of preceptor, student coordinator, and the importance of paying wages that recognize past experience.

We want to get better wages and premiums for all hospital workers. Management has stated that they (as usual) don’t want to pay at the “top” of the local hospital wages, but would rather pay in the middle.
We are bargaining again Wednesday.

Join us to talk about how we can win better wages:
