/
Following eleven bargaining dates over the course of nearly six months, our Case Manager RN bargaining team at Auburn Medical Center are overjoyed to announce that we have reached a fully recommended tentative agreement outlining our proposed entry into the RN union contract.
At our last scheduled session on January 22, we met MultiCare at the table, and proudly announced that we’d secured a supermajority of strike pledge card signatures in our unit. Pairing this with discussions around our continued priorities in these negotiations—MultiCare requested an emergency bargaining session on Monday, January 27 to get back to the table as soon as possible and continue working towards a deal.
Considering the many challenges we’ve faced throughout bargaining, our solidarity and resolve have led to what we strongly believe is a groundbreaking agreement for Case Manager RNs at Auburn Medical Center, including:
Experience credit towards placement on the RN wage scale
Access to premiums, differentials, daily overtime, and all of the union protections contained in the RN contract
Protections around Case Manager RNs floating into other clinical areas of the hospital
A specific wage differential for Senior Case Manager RNs
RATIFICATION BONUS!
To read the full agreement and cast your ballot, we encourage all newly-organized Case Manager RNs to drop-by our vote meetings!

MultiCare Auburn Medical Center RNs - Tentative Agreement Reached! Contract Vote Scheduled
/
Following our bargaining date on Wednesday, January 22, and our announcement to MultiCare that the RNs at Auburn Medical Center had reached a majority of Strike Pledge Card signatures in less than a week’s time—management requested that we meet again at the table as soon as possible to continue negotiations on our successor bargaining agreement.
Our team recognized that this was an extremely important moment in our ongoing fight for a strong contract—in the sense that nurses were standing up and ready to take action, and that we may finally have MultiCare’s full attention.
As a result of this momentum, our union bargaining team are proud to announce that we have secured a fully recommended tentative agreement on our new contract, which includes highlights such as:
An all-new wage scale that places AMC RNs pay above many of our top competitors at nearly all steps
Increased Continuing Education funds
Ratification bonus as well as bonuses for our coworkers at the top of the wage scale each year of the contract!
ALL NEW safe staffing language, including a premium for RNs who care for a higher number of patients than the state-submitted staffing plan outlines!
To read the full agreement and check-out all of the additional wins we secured, we encourage all AMC Nurses in good standing to drop-by our vote meetings and cast your ballot.

Seattle Children's Hospital Tech - Bargaining Update
/
"Stand your ground with confidence, state your value, back it with facts, and seek mutual success"
—Tesfaldet Kidanemariam, Respiratory Therapist
On Monday, January 27 we met with the employer for the fifth time to continue negotiating a strong contract that respects our specialized skill set.
We continued our negotiations, advocating for competitive wages and working conditions to recruit and retain our expert staff. Our coworkers on the Bargaining Team spent much of our time justifying why we deserve to be well compensated for the work we do. We know that other area hospitals send our kids to Seattle Children's Hospital for excellence in pediatric care. We shared stories of misdiagnoses at other facilities. We spoke about how it often takes months—even a year or more for techs from adult facilities to acquire our unique technical skills that save pediatric lives.
Join us on Monday, February 3, at 4:00 PM for a virtual update on the latest news from the bargaining table:
