Providence Centralia Service - WAGES Were The Topic! Bargaining Update

On September 30, 2024, we had our third bargaining session with Providence. We talked about wages and year-for-year experience that will help us to retain and recruit top talent. We continue to talk about other issues with an open dialogue. These bargaining sessions are moving quickly, and we are optimistic about the outcome.
 
“We are happy with the tone of our employer, who has shown us thoughtfulness with their proposal and seeing the needs of our bargaining unit. Join us in wearing your Union stickers and colors to show solidarity!”

One of the most powerful tools we have is to share our stories. If there is an issue you care deeply about or would like to have addressed at bargaining, please think about how you have been impacted and reach out to a member of the bargaining team or Union Representative Ryan DeGouveia at (360) 662-1982

MultiCare Mary Bridge RN & Diabetes Educator RNs Bargaining Update

Regarding the economic proposals for the main RN contract, because we’re still awaiting MultiCare’s response we decided it was best to hold off on addressing a few of the other Articles we’ve been discussing with Management; an approach that allows us to carefully weigh all our priorities as a team.

Our goal is to maximize benefits for the greatest number of nurses, and we are committed to achieving that.
