Read MoreMultiCare Women's Center Clinics Accretion - Bargaining Begins!
/Following our union election victory in August of 2024, we're excited to share that our MultiCare Women's Center bargaining team had its first day of contract negotiations with management on Thursday, February 6!
In preparation for our first meeting with management, we spent this morning finalizing the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)—an addition to the union contract—that outlines how Women's Center employees will be integrated into the UFCW/MultiCare Clinics collective bargaining agreement. Our proposal, which we later presented to the Employer, includes key provisions such as:
How union seniority will apply to Women's Clinics employees
Preserving and protecting the vacation/PTO we earned prior to being union, and how we will accrue paid time off moving forward,
And most importantly, how we transition to being paid on the union wage scales!
In simple terms, our position is that the most fair and equitable way to compensate us is by providing full credit for our years of relevant experience—because this is where the true value we bring to MultiCare lies!
After presenting our initial proposal to MultiCare, we were encouraged by the momentum we gained throughout the day, resulting in a total of three productive meetings with management.
Overall, we're optimistic about the progress made, and feel confident that we are on the right path toward reaching an agreement with the Employer.
We're looking forward to our next bargaining session on February 13, where we'll continue working toward securing a strong contract for Women's Center workers!
"Winning our union election was a monumental first step, and today, sitting together at the bargaining table feels like our second major victory. We got here by standing united, and together, we know that even more wins are on the way!"

Read MoreMultiCare Auburn MC RN & Case Manager RN Accretion Bargaining Update—Sending A Message
/
On Wednesday, January 22, our Auburn Medical Center RN & Case Manager RN bargaining team met with MultiCare for our tenth bargaining session of this contract cycle.
During this session, we felt a significant shift in the balance of power. The energy and solidarity from our well-attended Informational Picket just days prior were still palpable. When we met with MultiCare in the afternoon to present our counter proposals- we also shared that in just six days' time more than 180 nurses had signed our strike pledge...
52%!
This turnout is nothing short of extraordinary, and even at the time this update is being written, that number continues to grow.
Sharing this with MultiCare sent a powerful message: Auburn Medical Center nurses are fed up, and ready to take action. For far too long, our concerns have been ignored, dismissed, or brushed aside- and paired with five months of rejected proposals aimed at addressing the severe staffing shortages and improving recruitment and retention- we are demanding the respect and attention we deserve.
In response to our renewed strength and resolve, management responded with urgency, and requested that we schedule additional bargaining sessions as soon as available. Our bargaining team agree that this next session will determine our path forward. We are hopeful that MultiCare show up ready to work, and ready to bargain in good faith to get RNs and RN Case Managers at AMC the fair contract we deserve.
