Providence Regional Medical Center Everett - Bargaining Economics

Providence Regional Medical Center - RNs
Bargaining Economics

On day two of bargaining, we proposed all of the economics, including retirement, health insurance, differentials, longevity, wage increases, and bonuses. Our goal is to attract and retain Nurses and ensure patients have the highest level of safety and care at this hospital.

We are awaiting Providence’s response to our economics, as well as our staffing ratio proposal and other non-economics and look forward to continuing to bargain in good faith during these expedited bargaining sessions.

“We have put everything out on the table, we are waiting for Providence to respond. Thanks to all that are wearing their yellow and blue. Seeing photos of you all standing in solidarity wearing yellow and blue shows Providence that we are UNITED.”

– Stephanie Sausman, RN, Bargaining Team

Mariners Retail Update

Mariners’ workers continue to advocate for reinstatement of subsidized parking and promotional items

Shortly after the ratification of our first union contract on March 18 we learned that the Mariners Club intended to take away long established subsidies for parking and promotional items for UFCW 3000 Members at the Mariners retail stores and kiosk. During contract bargaining our Bargaining Committee proposed that the Mariners Club provide free parking to all employees at the retail and kiosk locations when scheduled to work. Ultimately the committee withdrew the proposal with the understanding that the Mariners intended to maintain the subsidized parking and promotional items as outlined in the employee handbook. Unfortunately, we have heard Management may have made the unilateral decision to revise the employee handbook removing the subsidized parking and promotional items for retail and kiosk workers.

Our Union filed a grievance on April 5 against the Mariners for removing the subsidized parking and promotional items, alleging that Management is violating our Union contract article 4 section 4.1 by removing such benefits in retaliation for Union activity. On Tuesday April 25 we will be meeting with Management in a Step 2 grievance meeting in an attempt to resolve the issue. The contract allows for up to 5 Members to participate in the meeting. If you are interested in participating, please contact one of your union representatives.

In addition to filing a grievance alleging retaliation for union activity, our Union has filed a charge with the National Labor Relation Board on April 13 alleging Management bargained with our Union in bad faith and discriminated against UFCW 3000 Members for their union activity in violation of National Labor Relations Act.

The events that have occurred since ratifying our contract around subsidized parking and promotional items are regrettable and do not reflect the type of relationship we were hoping to have with Mariners’ Management. Mariners retail workers deserve to have the same benefits we have enjoyed in previous seasons and that we believe are still offered to other non UFCW 3000 Members. We hope that during the Step 2 meeting we will be able to find common ground with the Management and restore these benefits.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our Union Reps: Mohamed Bonah (206) 436-6514 or Dominick Ojeda (206) 436-6586.

EvergreenHealth Monroe - Vote on wage increases

EvergreenHealth Monroe
VOTE ON WAGE INCREASES

After several months of bargaining, we are getting closer to reaching an agreement on a contract that will address our concerns and ensure EvergreenHealth Monroe is competitive with neighboring healthcare facilities.

While we are not finished with contract negotiations, our Union Bargaining Team believes that we urgently need wage increases to deal with our retention and recruitment issues. Management has agreed to pay their latest wage offer before we reach a settlement of the entire contract.

We have scheduled a vote on the proposed mid-cycle wage increase so that our wages can be increased now. However, we have made it clear to Management that we are not done! We will continue to bargain for additional wages and other benefits and will schedule another vote once we have reached a complete agreement on our new contract.

Our Union bargaining team recommends a “YES” vote on this mid-cycle wage increase!

Tri-Cities Community Health RN Bargaining Update

Tri-Cities Community Health RNs

Bargaining Continues

Our Union Bargaining Team met with the Employers’ over four very productive negotiation sessions. We have been discussing multiple proposals at the table but are focusing on: job security, working conditions, and compensation while making sure that we protect the benefits we currently have.

“We addressed multiple issues with responses from TCCH. We achieved Tentative Agreements on several articles. Building a brand-new 1st contract is an exciting but laborious experience.” — Karen Engel RN, Auburn campus

“I’m excited that finally us nurses will have a voice and hold management accountable. The union will help us establish a better work environment.” — Sophia Rubalcava RN, Court St. campus

“Nurses will finally have a voice. Being a bilingual nurse should be a benefit, however it feels like a punishment, managers would expect me to do many more responsibilities when I worked with 5 providers. Now I will be able to speak up and address my concerns for equitable treatment because I now have the union’s support.” — Hilda Torres RN, Court St. campus

Our next bargaining session will be May 11, 2023.

Please reach out to one of our Union Bargaining Team members or our Union Rep. Juanita Quezada at 509-340-7407 with any questions or concerns.

Isoray Bargaining Update

We made progress during first days of negotiations

Our Union Bargaining Committee met with the Employer on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 18 and 19 for the first time to begin the process of negotiating our first contract! Over two days of bargaining our committee made good progress on proposing articles for our contract that would address union membership, access to the facility by the union representatives, a grievance process, paid holidays, paid vacation, sick leave and more. We were also able to come to several tentative agreements with the employer including contract language around just cause for discipline and discharge, new employee orientation, placement of the union bulletin board, job postings, and more.

Next bargaining sessions with the employer are scheduled for May 30 and 31, June 9 and July 6.

“We are happy with the progress we have made over the past few days and remain optimistic that we will continue to find common ground with the employer as we work to win our first contract!” — Fernado Gonzalez-Perez, Tamra Neish, Cristal Bauer

Sunrise Dental - Bargaining Continues

Sunrise Dental
Bargaining Continues

After two bargaining sessions, Management says everyone is happy and nothing needs to be improved.

When our Bargaining Team proposed increasing the number of paid holidays, Management said they were not interested.

We deserve higher pay, but Management says:

“We are paying higher than the contract, so don’t need to change wages by very much.”

PRMCE RN Pro Tech We need a better incentive shift program!

Providence Everett RN, Pro & Tech

We need a better incentive shift program!

In March, we told Providence Everett that we wanted to modify the incentive shift letter of understanding (LOU) for the Pros, Techs, and RNs.

We believe that Providence Everett should count “safe sick” time towards our FTEs to qualify for the incentive shift program. This would be following state law and would make eligible more Pros, Tech, and RNs for these incentive shifts. Providence Everett has rejected our proposal and released the LOUs to all units even though we have not agreed to them!

At this time, we have not signed any LOU and will be working with all three bargaining units to create a better incentive program which increases staffing and benefits patients.

If your unit is offering an incentive shift, please let your union Rep know. Anthony Cantu (RNs) 206-436-6566 and Jack Crow (Pros and Techs) at 206-436-6614.

Bartell Drugs Bargaining Begins!

Last week, our Bargaining Committee met together for the first time. The Committee discussed the upcoming contract negotiation with Bartell Drugs, now owned by Rite Aid. We reviewed the submitted Union Bargaining Survey results and discussed the top priorities outlined by Bartell workers including: winning better pay, increasing safety at our stores, keeping good affordable healthcare coverage, maintaining strong retirement, addressing scheduling issues and building more power in the drug store industry.

Bartell workers throughout the Puget Sound continue to show solidarity by taking photos together with messages about the issues that matter most to us and our stores. Talk to our Rep or Union Steward and share your message!

Don’t miss out on future updates from our Bargaining Committee, union benefits, action alerts, and contract vote information. Keep your personal contact information up-to-date! ufcw3000.org/update-your-information

VMFH St. Joseph Medical Center (Technical) - Bargaining Continues

VMFH St. Joseph Medical Center (Technical)
Bargaining Continues

Our Union Bargaining Team met with St. Joseph Medical Center Management again on March 2, 17, 24, 28 and 30 to continue negotiations for our successor contract.

We continue to make remarkable progress this bargaining cycle with many important issues resolved in record time. Tentative agreements include improved language on:

• Union Rep access to the medical center

• New hire orientation (NEO)

• Preceptor

• Discipline / personnel files

• Donning & doffing

• Layoff

• Low Census

• Shift differential

• Certification pay

• Bereavement leave

• Grievance

• Successorship

• And much more!

However, we have yet to reach an agreement on wages, healthcare, standby/call, and other differentials. Wages are the biggest hold up because we are working on designing an entirely new wage scale that eliminates ghost steps (years with a 0% increase) and enables members to get to the top of the wage scale earlier in their career.

While the Employer has agreed conceptually to our proposal, we remain apart on the scale cadence (increases between steps, how members progress up the scale). There are significant implications with the proposed changes to our wage scale and our Bargaining Team wants to thoughtfully review each proposal from the Employer to ensure that everyone will receive a fair market competitive wage increase.

While we hoped to have an agreement before contract expiration (April 1), the complexities of the proposed scale changes have caused necessary delays in the process. In the meantime, we have signed a contract extension agreement through the end of this month to ensure that all our contractual benefits and protections continue as we move forward with negotiations.

We also continued to discuss the concerning developments regarding the mass exodus of anesthesiologist and the impact on our members ability to work. Unfortunately, we have not received any firm answers from the Employer on how this issue will be resolved. Our Bargaining Team will continue challenging Management on this issue until we have the answers we need.

We are scheduled to meet with the Employer again tomorrow for a marathon session. It is possible that we’ll have a tentative agreement and subsequent vote after tomorrow, however, that will only happen if the offer on the table meets the needs of all bargaining unit members.

“We are fighting to ensure that EVERY member will receive a fair wage increase with our new contract!”

—St. Joseph Medical Center Bargaining Team: Vanessa Giles (Surgical Tech), Kat Wood (Radiology Tech), Michelle Gilmore (Respiratory Therapist), Monica DeWitt (Pharmacy Tech), Sissy Allison (Surgical Tech)

EvergreenHealth Kirkland - UFCW 3000 Bargaining Team Meets With Evergreen Management!

It’s time for change. We feel unappreciated, underpaid and understaffed. 

Our Union Bargaining Team met Friday, March 31 and made initial non-economic proposals. Management did not respond to any proposals made, but committed to review. 

We are scheduled to bargain again on April 12. The Bargaining Team is now focused on fine-tuning economic proposals in anticipation of our next session.

“If you have any issues, come to me and I will do my best to bring your thoughts to the Bargaining Team. I’m always willing to facilitate ideas.”

— DAVID DIMALANTA, Surg Tech, 8 years

“I wanted to be on the Bargaining Team because I want to help my team. We started to fall apart when we went through Covid. We need to focus more on retention. The hospital could do a better job and that is what I am hoping for.”

— JUSTY HEDRICK, CT Tech, 5 years

“Now is such an important time. There are so many things that we need, and I wanted to be on the Bargaining Team to make sure our department is represented. I didn’t want to let my coworkers down.”

— DESIREE HUTTINGER, Cardiology Tech, 12 years

“I was on the Bargaining Team last contract, and it was a lot of fun. I never realized how much goes into it. It helped me to have a better understanding of the contract itself.”

— ANNA HANNAGER, Respiratory Care Practitioner, 7 years

“I come from Wyoming and Idaho, and I cannot stress enough how much better the benefits are in Washington than over there. That has a lot to do with the Union and the market that we are in. Having a say in how you’re treated at work through the Union helps tremendously. If you come from a right to work state, like Wyoming or Idaho, it’s hard to get any kind of concession from Management on anything. That’s why I am here. I have experienced the other side of the coin. The Union makes a difference.”

—  KEVIN DALY, Lab Med Tech, 12 years 

“I want to be involved in making changes and improving things at Evergreen. I don’t want to just be a grumbling voice. I want to feel like when I go home at the end of the day that I was able to give good patient care. I don’t always feel that. It is something that has been an issue the last couple of years.”  

— JENNIFER BRADSHAW, Mammography Tech, 17 years 

“I feel proud to say I am a healthcare worker. But I have seen and experienced first-hand how important it is to have representation and make sure everyone is treated fairly. That’s why I wanted to be a part of the Bargaining Team.”

—  KIM MITCHELL, Labor and Delivery Surg Tech, 2 years

“I’ve been in this field for 14 years now, and I’ve been around enough hospitals to know what works and what doesn’t. I joined the Bargaining Team because I was hoping to influence some of those positive changes for the hospital.”

—  CHRIS DIZON, Echo Tech, 2 years

“There hasn’t been a surg tech on the Bargaining Team for the last two contracts and it’s time we had someone. A lot of folks don’t understand what goes into our job, and they don’t understand the responsibilities that go into our position.”

—   JAMES KERR, OR Surg Tech, 8 years
