  • Across the Board Wage Increases every 6 months

  • Path to minimize variable shifts

  • Robust Market Adjustment in over 100 different classifications

  • Successfully integrated Spiritual Counselors and Hospice Aids to the CBA

  • A contractual commitment on moving into a improved OT system

  • Ratification bonus

  • And much more

“After 9 long months, we reached a fair agreement—fighting to the very end and conquering steppingstones that will shape a stronger future.”- Ashley Price, MA-C

“It was a long 19 hour day at the table. When we finally got close to agreeing on the last of economics, I think we all felt an overwhelming feeling of relief and excitement. The Bargaining Team put a lot of effort and hours into this new contract!”- Annalise Pasillas, Pharmacy Tech
