EvergreenHealth Kirkland Tech - Bargaining Team Pushes Late Into the Night for a Fair Deal
/Our Bargaining Team met with management and bargained late into the night with the hope of reaching a tentative agreement. The team worked hard, stayed focused, and made meaningful progress at the table.
Unfortunately, we were unable to close the deal and had to call it a night because we remain too far apart on a few key issues, including callback and wages. These are important priorities for our members, and our Team continues to stand firm for a fair and equitable contract.
“We bargained late and long. We made a lot of progress, but we were unable to close the deal. There are still a few remaining issues where we are too far apart.”
— James Kerr, Bargaining Team Member
What We Are Still Fighting For
Our Team continues to push for improvements that reflect the work Kirkland Tech members do every day, including:
Fair wages that recognize our skill, experience, and dedication
Strong callback language that protects members’ time and work-life balance
A contract that respects the priorities members have raised throughout bargaining
While we are disappointed that we were not able to reach a deal, our Bargaining Team remains committed to getting the strongest agreement possible.
Stay United and Stay Ready
This is the time for members to stay engaged and united. Our strength at the table comes from the support and solidarity of the membership. We will continue to keep members updated as bargaining moves forward.
