Harbor Regional Health - Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Informational Picket!

Harbor Regional Health

Members of the local community came out along with many hospital workers to send a strong message to management: We need a contract NOW! At the end of the Informational Picket community members stepped up and spoke to HRH workers offering overwhelming support! It was a beautiful fall day, a perfect day to make some noise in front of Harbor Regional Health.

MultiCare - Informational Picket

Friday - August 6, 2021

3:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Tacoma General Hospital,
315 M.L.K. Jr Way, Tacoma, WA 98405
RSVP to the Informational Picket!

After more than a year on the front-lines of the pandemic, workers at MultiCare deserve a contract that includes fair wage increases for ALL workers along with more affordable and accessible healthcare. MultiCare’s current offer still leaves many healthcare workers behind with some receiving less than a 0.50% wage increase upon ratification and management still demanding the right to increase our healthcare premiums by up to $120/month by 2024.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We have been bargaining with management for more than six months, if we cannot come to a deal this month then we must take to the streets. Join the picket lines in solidarity with MultiCare workers to tell management that we demand a fair contract NOW!

You’re Invited! 

Please join your Bargaining Team in a virtual meeting to hear the latest updates from negotiations and to learn more about our upcoming informational picket. Your attendance is important as we’ll also talk about management’s strategies to undermine our solidarity, which will intensify as we get closer to our picket.

Thursday, July 22 @ 6:30 PM

Contact your Bargaining Team or Union Rep for call-in details. Details will be also emailed out.

PCC Bargaining Update: Management Doesn't Get It

We bargained with PCC again last Thursday.

Our Bargaining Team has met with PCC seven times now, and all they’ve been willing to agree to is cleanup language. PCC has been rejecting many of our proposals, without coming up with any creative solutions of their own. Meanwhile, Management has put corporate-style proposals on the table that would erode our just cause language, weaken our grievance procedure, and reduce existing rights under our current contract.

PCC is still refusing to respond to our economic proposals.

We demand that PCC lives up to co-op values, respects workers’ rights, and truly engage with the communities in which they operate.

“Current PCC Leadership doesn’t understand where the co-op has come from and what PCC has stood for in the past. We need to make sure that PCC doesn’t forget its roots so that it can be successful moving forward.”

— Our PCC Bargaining Team

Co-op or corporate? Let PCC know what you think co-op values are by attending an informational picket on 4/14. RSVP now!
