Skagit Regional Health Keep Pushing! Keep Moving! Keep Fighting!
/
After three meetings with the Employer, we have made progress and moved forward with the non-economic aspects that will ensure an improved contract for everyone in SRH. It is also imperative to understand that the Employer continues trying to limit our access to the employees by making us the only union at SRH that needs to be “accompanied”—and refusing to allow us to bargain over changes to job descriptions.

We reached an agreement! Vote on October 8!
We began bargaining for a new contract in late May, and after nearly five months of negotiations, we are proud to announce that we reached an agreement with Capital Medical. From the very start, our priority was clear: secure a contract that is competitive with Providence St. Peter and win some of the language that staff at other MultiCare hospitals already have.

After nearly 11 hours at the bargaining table, we walked away without a deal. Capital Medical Center management continues to oppose some of our proposals on critical issues: safe staffing, fair wages, incentive and extra shift pay, meal and rest breaks, continuing education, PTO, FMLA, and health insurance.
Read MoreCapital Medical Center RN - Making Progress!
/Over the past few sessions, our Capital Medical RN bargaining team has been working hard to move negotiations forward on a successor contract. While we have reached tentative agreements on many language items, we have not reached an agreement on a lot of economic pieces. In our most recent session on September 19, we put all our outstanding proposals on the table. These proposals are not minor details—they are critical to recruiting and retaining nurses at our hospital.
Let's be clear—our priorities aren't optional. Nurses need:
Better staffing solutions and manageable patient loads
Incentive pay for vacant shifts
Competitive wages and benefits that recruit and retain RNs
Improvements to report pay for on-call nurses
Increases to premiums
Respect for the work we do every single day
These proposals are the solutions we need to provide quality care for our patients. We've also made it clear that our hospital must remain competitive with Providence St. Peter's new contract. Our wage scale and contract need to be competitive with Providence. Anything less will only make staffing challenges worse.
We will be bargaining into the night on September 23 and 25. We asked that you show your support by:
Wearing your union buttons and colors—make your solidarity visible
Talk to your coworkers—make sure everyone knows what's at stake
Be ready—if management drags their feet, we'll need to take action!
Bargaining Team: Bonnie Verellen, Dennis Verellen, Cindy Dixon

St. Michael Medical Center RNs overwhelmingly reject the Hospital’s last offer!
/
Yesterday (Wednesday, September 17) we held an all-day contract vote on Management’s “Best and Final” offer we were presented with in our last bargaining session on September 5. While we were able to win many improvements on premiums and contract language prior to September 5th, there are still significant unresolved issues. In its totality, the Hospital’s last proposal was not enough to improve staffing, so we recommended a NO vote.
