/Hooray! Wage Increases in Upcoming Paychecks
Kaiser UFCW 3000 membership ratified historic mid-contract wage increases for all members on April 19. Management gave word that those increases have been processed in HRConnect and we anticipate your new wage to be in your next paycheck coming on 6/21/2024.
Please note: The retroactive pay will not be on this same paycheck. The retroactive pay for all hours worked (from the effective date until now) will be coming in either of the the next two pay periods: 7/5/24 or 7/19/24.
The wage increases ranged from 5% to 9% depending on job classification. To understand your new wage, multiply your current wage by 1.05, 1.06, or 1.09:
e.g. $30.00 x 1.05 = $31.50
$25.60 x 1.09 = $27.90
Please reach out to your Union Representative or Contract Specialist with any questions or concerns!

“After five other contract negotiations I feel supported by our Union and heard by our Employer. So far, this has been a positive experience!” —Monica Meloy, Steward & bargaining team member

Mason Health - Bargaining Update
/
Our Bargaining Team is working on a new contract. So far, Management has been receptive to proposals regarding staffing, equity and workplace safety. We received a proposal from them addressing Earned Time and Sick Leave and are preparing to respond next week. We have started to discuss economics and in particular, Wages. We know this is at the top of everyone’s list of priorities.
Read MorePRMCE Update on Inpatient Rehab Closure
/
On June 13 and 14, we met with the PRMCE Management team to discuss the closure of the inpatient rehab unit and negotiate over the effects of this decision. During this meeting, Providence informed us that they plan to officially close the unit sometime in mid-October 2024. The current plan is to retain all PRMCE inpatient rehab employees until the official closure date. Employees who have accepted a position at the new rehabilitation facility in Lynnwood (Lifepoint/Providence Swedish Rehabilitation Unit) will transition to the new location after the PRMCE unit closes.
Throughout our discussions, it became clear that Providence and Lifepoint’s plans are still evolving. However, it appears they are committed to securing positions for all interested inpatient rehab caregivers and are negotiating with Lifepoint on wages and benefits. Providence confirmed that Lifepoint will match the current inpatient rehab caregivers’ wage rates, PTO accruals, continuing education funds, tuition reimbursement, and hire dates.
We also requested that Providence ask Lifepoint to delay the job offer acceptance deadline of June 21st, but Providence stated that Lifepoint cannot extend this date. We recommend that each caregiver make their own decision regarding the job offer from Lifepoint based on their personal circumstances. If you do not accept a position at Lifepoint now, we are unsure if a position will be available for you in the future. Nonetheless, all Pro, Technical, and RN bargaining unit members have the option to take a vacant position at the Colby Campus using the bumping language in their contracts.
Moreover, we presented a severance proposal that included PTO/EIB cashout and other benefits for all laid-off employees, but Providence rejected this proposal. We will likely be meeting with them again soon to present a counterproposal.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your bargaining team or union representatives, Jack Crow at 206-436-6614 or Anthony Cantu at 206-436-6566.

Read MoreLabCorp ULP STRIKE AUTHORIZATION VOTE NOTICE
/
We must show LabCorp our readiness to take decisive action if we fail to reach an agreement. We believe the Employer has engaged in unfair labor practices throughout the bargaining process, including, but not limited to making unilateral changes to your working conditions following the expiration of the contract, spying on union activity, and taking measures to prohibit employees from even talking about the union. Therefore, our Bargaining Team has scheduled a vote for the following week on June 25 & 26.

In April a survey was sent out to all Conifer St. Michael Medical Center UFCW 3000 members regarding compensation, benefits, and working conditions in preparation for our upcoming Union contract negotiations. The response rate was remarkably strong! Unsurprisingly, of folks’ top three issues in responses, wages were the most commonly recognized area where workers would like to see improvement. The next two top issues in the responses were affordability of health insurance and enhancement of vacation/PTO benefits.
