Trios Health RN Bargaining Update

November 9, 2026

We entered the first week of November ready for two bargaining sessions with Trios on November 3 and 4, but unfortunately, unforeseen circumstances out of the Employer’s control led to the cancellation of our Tuesday session. Although this meant we wouldn’t be exchanging proposals with them, our team still opted to meet and prepare counters, discuss outstanding articles, and brainstorm strategies to move forward. We also remarked on the strong turnout at our Strike Pledge Kick-Off & Bargaining Update meeting on November 2, which reinforces to our Bargaining Team that we have the support of our union siblings at our backs at the bargaining table!

CommonSpirit St. Joseph Medical Center STRIKE READY & HOLDING THE LINE

November 6, 2026

Our team will be returning to the bargaining table on Thursday, November 12, ready to reach a deal or give our notice to strike. For healthcare facilities, strike notices must be given to the hospital and the federal mediation service at least 10 days prior to the beginning of a strike. At our next session our Union President, Faye Guenther and Secretary Treasurer, Sean Embly will join to help support us as we continue to prepare for a ULP Strike. We are committed to our fight for a fair contract with no takeaways. A contract that reflects the hard work we do every day. And we are committed to standing up for our worker rights and against management that we believe is violating labor law by unlawfully questioning workers about if they are going to participate in a strike or other protected action

Help Keep Workers on PCC’s Board! Nominations for the PCC Board of Trustees

November 5, 2026

In 2021, our union fought for two workers —Donna Rasmussen of PCC-View Ridge and Laurae McIntyre of PCC-Fremont—to win seats on the PCC Board of Trustees. These workers brought a unique perspective to the board, tapping their lived experiences with coworkers, customers, and the community to help steer the future of the co-op.

To maintain a strong worker voice on PCC’s Board, we need to act now.

St. Joseph Medical Center Tech Management Still Falls Short

October 29, 2026

With ULPs on the horizon and a strike authorization in hand, we bargained late into the night two days this week. While some progress was made, the hospital is still short of meeting our priorities and continues to push their takeaways. We will not let that happen! Stay prepared and join us for all the upcoming Strike preparation meetings via ZOOM to learn more about the next steps in your fight for a best contract.

Confluence Health A Breakthrough at the Table!

October 29, 2026

Our collective actions over the last two weeks have paid off in this bargaining session, and we are encouraged by the results! Management arrived prepared to engage and met with our team early in the day, replying to several outstanding proposals. Throughout the course of the day, we reached sixteen tentative agreements. One of these was a major breakthrough in our economic proposals – agreeing to the definitions of full time and part time employees. Thank you to our Contract Action Team members who pulled a lot of information to support the need for these definitions.

LabCorp LabCorp Is Stonewalling Us Join a Contract Action Team Meeting!

October 29, 2026

The union met with LabCorp on Wednesday, October 28, and once again received unacceptable, disrespectful proposals. LabCorp offers minimal, below-market wage increases, resists giving reasonable notice of outsourcing, and wants to strip away our rights and gain total power to change your health insurance whenever it chooses. The company blames upcoming Medicare reimbursement cuts for refusing to move closer to our proposals, but we are skeptical: LabCorp is thriving financially, its stock price is rising, and CEO Adam Schechter received $18,399,913 in compensation last year.

Northeast Oregon Grocery Bargaining Update

October 27, 2026

In our last contract negotiations, our union won the largest wage increases that we’ve seen, secured a transition to the stable our union health plan through the UFCW Spokane healthcare Trust, and ensured funding to keep our pension plan dependable for retirement. Our NE Oregon contracts recently expired, and our union is prioritizing a new contract that builds upon our previous wins.

Confluence Health Professionals Bargaining Update

October 23, 2026

While our initial bargaining sessions were largely positive and relatively low stakes, we now have reached the meat and potato economic proposals that our unit cares about most. This is often the most challenging stage of bargaining – especially when bargaining a first contract. An example from today: in response to our extensively researched wage proposal, the company stated "we don't want to change how we do things" without further discussion.

State Supreme Court Upholds SeaTac's Minimum Wage Law

August 20, 2015/ Gaelan Kelly

UFCW 21 member Shukri Hussien spoke on the steps of the Olympic court on June 26

This is a great decision for the workers in SeaTac and the broader SeaTac community. The successful initiative was a critical part of jump-starting the national movement for higher wages and better benefits in the workplace. It spread from SeaTac to Seattle and communities all across the nation. With the court’s decision today, the national movement that has been picking up steam has even more momentum for raising standards in the workplace and reducing inequities in our economy. Read the full opinion.
