UPDATE – 2nd and 3rd Tentative Agreements of the Day Reached with UFCW 21 at Providence Everett Medical Center, other Tables Continue Talks

After months of contract negotiations, the UFCW 21 Professional and the Technical units at Providence Everett have both reached a fully recommended Tentative Agreement for new contracts. This resolution came within hours of the Tentative Agreement reached with UFCW 21’s Service and Maintenance workers at Sacred Heart in Spokane. These wins are a result of the strong unity between UFCW 21, SEIU Healthcare 1199 NW and WSNA.

Negotiations with UFCW 21 service and maintenance workers at Holy Family have resumed today, and our RNs from Centralia and St Peter Hospitals are gathering to return to negotiations later today as well. Our RNs at St Mary’s in Walla Walla are planned to be in negotiations tomorrow.

UFCW 21 Members Take Action in Everett

After months of negotiations, UFCW 21 Members sent a strong message to Providence Management that the time is now to settle a fair contract with Nurses, Professional Staff and Technical Staff.Hundreds of workers joined by community members and elected officials participated in a day-long informational picket at both the Pacific and Colby campuses. Reading statements of dissatisfaction with Management's feet-dragging at the bargaining table, chanting in solidarity, and delivering hundreds of postcards supporting their Union, UFCW 21 members sent a strong message that they are unified and demand a fair contract.

Our next bargaining session is schedule for Monday, June 11 for the Nurses and Wednesday, June 20 for the Techs. We need to see a proposal from Management that will allow us to:

Recruit and retain the highest quality health care professionals. Give front line health care professionals a real voice in establishing safe staffing levels. Ensure job security so that we can continue to provide quality healthcare service to our community and our region.

"Today was about solidarity; it was about unity; it was about power.
We are fed up with management and we want to get the contract
settled. They know what its going to take. The ball is firmly in
their court." Sue Woodard, RN
"I hope management understands that we are serious about staffing
issues. Not just for RNs but for all of the people who work here.
This is a house wide issue that needs to be addressed in our
contracts." Bill Hisaw, RN
