Our Bargaining Team Pushes Forward on Member Priorities
Our Bargaining Team met with Olympic Medical Center on June 29 and continued advancing proposals that reflect the priorities members have been raising. Our Team came prepared and focused on language that protects seniority, strengthens job posting and transfer rights, and addresses scheduling concerns for Service workers.
Our Union passed proposals that would improve monthly status reports to the Union, strengthen new hire orientation access, and protect seniority rights in job openings, transfers, layoffs, recalls, promotions, and shift changes. Our Team also proposed language to address variable shifts, including protections against being scheduled for day, evening, and night shifts in the same workweek.
What Our Team Proposed
Protect seniority — Seniority should matter when it comes to layoffs, recalls, transfers, shift changes, promotions, and job vacancies when qualifications are equal.
Improve job posting rights — Our Union proposed that regular job openings be posted internally before being posted externally, giving current workers the first opportunity to apply.
Address work rotation and variable shifts — Our Team proposed protections so workers are not scheduled to work day shift, evening shift, and night shift in the same workweek. The proposal also protects workers from being required to rotate between day shift one week and night shift the following week.
Strengthen benefits and leave language — Our Union also passed proposals around lead pay, vacation scheduling, paid sick leave carryover, bereavement leave, and expanding the definition of immediate family to include family members such as niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, and first cousin.
What We Are Still Fighting For
Our Bargaining Team is continuing to fight for language that respects Service workers' work, protects seniority, creates fair access to job opportunities, improves transparency, and gives workers more stability in their schedules.
Next Bargaining Session

Stay United and Stay Ready
The strength of this campaign comes from members standing together. Our Team will continue to bring member priorities to the table and fight for a contract that protects OMC Service workers.
Olympic Medical Center Pro Tech - Bargaining Update
/We are working to create a strong contract. Our proposals keep the contract competitive and relevant.
Management proposed increasing the cost of health benefits for workers who work less than a .8 FTE. This is unacceptable! We need part-time workers and want them to have the same access to benefits as other OMC workers.
Management’s wage proposals are unrealistic. We are proposing sustainable wage increases.
Management proposed that we give them 30 days’ notice for vacation days taken during non-prime time, because it’s easier for managers.
We are all working harder than ever before. We need to ensure that OMC values this work and holds to its commitment. We are a valuable part of this community.

Your OMC Pro-Tech Bargaining Team met for the first day of negotiations. Although the session looked different than expected because members of the management team were out sick, your Bargaining Team made the most of the time and stayed focused on the work ahead.
Rather than lose valuable time, the Bargaining Team used the day to work together on a strong and comprehensive proposal package. This gives us the opportunity to come back to the table at our next session ready to present management with clear priorities and thoughtful proposals that reflect the needs and concerns of Pro-Tech workers.
Our Bargaining Team remains committed to pushing forward and making every bargaining day count. We will continue to keep members updated as negotiations move ahead.

Olympic Medical Center (ProTech and Support Services) - BARGAINING CONTINUES
/
Olympic Medical Center (ProTech and Support Services)
BARGAINING CONTINUES
Bargaining continued on Tuesday, September 5. We had discussions about job descriptions and wage disparities for Support Services workers and are trying to understand why some positions are paid at a higher rate which are essentially the same as other lower paid positions. Responses from Management did not specifically address our concerns.
We presented Management with a strong wage, premium, and benefits package for ProTech workers to retain current employees and recruit new ones to fill the huge staffing void. Management’s response was a modest increase to their previous proposal. They suggested we meet with the CEO, Darryl Wolfe, next session to review hospital finances.
This is unacceptable! We need to let Management know that we cannot and will not continue to work for less. We are working harder than ever, covering for multiple unfilled positions, adding stress to our work and our personal lives.
Support Services Workers: We are circulating a letter/petition to send Management. Talk to a Bargaining Team member or to Union Rep Aimee Oien.
Wear our sticker to show Management that we deserve a fair contract!
Everyone can get a sticker from a Bargaining Team member or Union Rep Aimee Oien @ 360-662-1981.
“Support Services is vital to OMC and their profits. We deserve a fair and livable wage and will fight as one until we get it.” —Deviney Blore
“We’re still miles apart, their last offer does not promote retention and recruitment.” —Josh Johnston
“Where OMC is at, there is no doubt we will continue to lose coworkers to neighboring hospitals worsening the financial situation and morale.” —Rob Elofson-Golbert
“OMC is asking us to take far less than they have given other contracts recently.” —Patty Wood
“It’s hard to provide excellence working for an organization that gives us less than minimum.”—Hector Pozernick

Waiting for Management’s response to our proposals
We had a full Bargaining session with Management at Olympic Medical Center on July 13.
Our Union Bargaining Team has proposed to significantly increase wages and other compensation as well as addressing huge challenges around staffing. We have made many other proposals to improving processes and work—life balance.
Although Management has been friendly, we still haven’t received many proposals from them. We hope to have a better understanding of their priorities when they respond. We meet again on Friday, July 28.
