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.

Tri Cities Community Health Employer’s First Economic Response Falls Short

Tri Cities Community Health
Employer’s First Economic Response Falls Short

Our Bargaining Team met with the Employer on June 11 and received their first economic response. Unfortunately, we do not feel the Employer heard our concerns. Their proposal falls short of what is needed to bring our wages and benefits in line with the market and does not address the ongoing challenges of recruiting and retaining nurses.

We want our clinic to be a place where nurses choose to work and stay—one that attracts and retains the skilled caregivers our families and community members deserve.

We need your support. Please stand in solidarity with your Bargaining Team by signing our petition:

Sign Petition Here >>

Signing the petition is one of the strongest ways to show your support. A strong show of member support sends a clear message that we are united behind our bargaining priorities and committed to securing a fair contract.

Olympic Medical Center Pro Tech - Bargaining Update

We are working to create a strong contract. Our proposals keep the contract competitive and relevant.

Management proposed increasing the cost of health benefits for workers who work less than a .8 FTE. This is unacceptable! We need part-time workers and want them to have the same access to benefits as other OMC workers.

Management’s wage proposals are unrealistic. We are proposing sustainable wage increases.

Management proposed that we give them 30 days’ notice for vacation days taken during non-prime time, because it’s easier for managers.

We are all working harder than ever before. We need to ensure that OMC values this work and holds to its commitment. We are a valuable part of this community.
