Samaritan Health RN - New Three-Year Contract Ratified with Unanimous Vote on January 6, 2025

/

After two sessions of bargaining and countless hours of hard work and dedication put in by our bargaining team, we were able to recommend and ratify our new contract which included competitive wages, increases to many premiums with additional premiums for those that go above the minimum requirements which we believe will help recruit and retain qualified Nurses.

We look forward to building on the foundation that we have strengthened and unified during these negotiations. We are calling on all nurses to get involved and share the responsibility in building a strong union within our facilities and show Samaritan Health that we will not be divided in our fight for a fair contract that recognizes and respects all of our hard work and dedication.

Please contact your bargaining team or Union Rep Amy Radcliff at (509) 340-7370 with any questions or concerns.
