North Valley Hospital Bargaining Begins Soon!
/
Our bargaining team has been hard at work preparing for negotiations! Meet our union Bargaining Team:
"During the upcoming negotiations, I want to ensure that every department feels that their voices and concerns are heard. Please come talk to me anytime with your ideas for creating a better workplace." —Michelle Beatie, Radiology Technologist
"I am honored to represent all nurses at the bargaining table as we negotiate our next contract. I have served as a steward for 8 years and have been employed at NVH for 11 years. I'll approach these negotiations with respect, determination, and a clear commitment to the priorities our members have asked us to represent. I look forward to working with the team to achieve the best agreement possible for our membership." — Megan Vickers, Wound Care RN
"The Negotiating team heard your voices through the surveys. I will work hard to make our voices heard and fight for all of my co-workers across the board." — Tonya Smith, ER MA-C/HUS
Over the past couple of weeks, our Bargaining Team has met to review the survey responses you shared with us. Your feedback is helping us prepare our proposals and, most importantly, make sure your voices, priorities, and concerns are represented at the bargaining table.
We’re excited to meet with the Employer on Tuesday, September 15, to kick off our bargaining sessions. As negotiations move forward, you can expect to hear from your Bargaining Team regularly with updates on the process and what’s happening at the table.
