St. Michael Medical Center Pro Tech/Clinical Support Staff Bargaining Update

At our second day of contract negotiations, Tuesday, March 31, our Bargaining Team met with Management to continue working on the non-economic sections of our Collective Bargaining Agreement. We feel we made pretty good progress so far on topics such as the New Employee Orientation, and language which better accommodates PTO request & approval timelines for workers in departments with four (4) week schedules as well as six (6) week schedules.

Outside of our meetings with Management, our Bargaining Team spent the remainder of the time between putting finishing touches on our wage scale proposal to ensure it captures all updated licensure & recently added job classifications, comparing & contrasting all of this against pay rates in nearby hospitals to make sure our proposal is strong for our coworkers on all Steps of the scales!

We’re looking forward to our next meeting with SMMC where we hope to present our wages proposal to the Employer!
