LabCorp Nobody can survive on a 1.5% wage increase
/
"They are doing the same thing they do every re-negotiation. Weaponize their incompetence and make the union do all the work. I work 8 hours a day, graveyard shift 5 days a week, and they think I am worth 1.5% for all the damage this shift does to my body? Laughable.." — Serenity MacLennan

/Our Bargaining Team met with management and bargained late into the night with the hope of reaching a tentative agreement. The team worked hard, stayed focused, and made meaningful progress at the table.
Unfortunately, we were unable to close the deal and had to call it a night because we remain too far apart on a few key issues, including callback and wages. These are important priorities for our members, and our Team continues to stand firm for a fair and equitable contract.
“We bargained late and long. We made a lot of progress, but we were unable to close the deal. There are still a few remaining issues where we are too far apart.”
— James Kerr, Bargaining Team Member
What We Are Still Fighting For
Our Team continues to push for improvements that reflect the work Kirkland Tech members do every day, including:
Fair wages that recognize our skill, experience, and dedication
Strong callback language that protects members’ time and work-life balance
A contract that respects the priorities members have raised throughout bargaining
While we are disappointed that we were not able to reach a deal, our Bargaining Team remains committed to getting the strongest agreement possible.
Stay United and Stay Ready
This is the time for members to stay engaged and united. Our strength at the table comes from the support and solidarity of the membership. We will continue to keep members updated as bargaining moves forward.

The Employer made only a minimal movement on wages. Even more concerning, they REJECTED EVERY premium pay increase proposed by the Union. This rejection was so extreme that they even rejected basic cleanup language on certification pay that did not include any substantive change and would not have created any additional cost for the Employer.

Employer’s First Economic Response Falls Short
Our Bargaining Team met with the Employer on June 11 and received their first economic response. Unfortunately, we do not feel the Employer heard our concerns. Their proposal falls short of what is needed to bring our wages and benefits in line with the market and does not address the ongoing challenges of recruiting and retaining nurses.
We want our clinic to be a place where nurses choose to work and stay—one that attracts and retains the skilled caregivers our families and community members deserve.
We need your support. Please stand in solidarity with your Bargaining Team by signing our petition:

Signing the petition is one of the strongest ways to show your support. A strong show of member support sends a clear message that we are united behind our bargaining priorities and committed to securing a fair contract.

Olympic Medical Center Pro Tech - Bargaining Update
/We are working to create a strong contract. Our proposals keep the contract competitive and relevant.
Management proposed increasing the cost of health benefits for workers who work less than a .8 FTE. This is unacceptable! We need part-time workers and want them to have the same access to benefits as other OMC workers.
Management’s wage proposals are unrealistic. We are proposing sustainable wage increases.
Management proposed that we give them 30 days’ notice for vacation days taken during non-prime time, because it’s easier for managers.
We are all working harder than ever before. We need to ensure that OMC values this work and holds to its commitment. We are a valuable part of this community.

The Employer returned in the afternoon with only a partial response to our comprehensive proposal and did not yet provide a full economic response. Our Bargaining Team spent the rest of the day reviewing their proposals, pushing back where needed, and continuing to focus the conversation on the issues that matter most to members: staffing, safety, recruitment and retention, and fair wages and benefits.
Read MoreGrand Central Bakery Progress at the table but more movement is needed
/
Our Union Bargaining Team met with the Employer for back-to-back sessions on Monday and Tuesday, June 8 and 9.
We’ve reached tentative agreements on:
Paid bereavement leave
Baker premiums for non-Pastry Leads
14-hour rest period between scheduled shifts
Minimum 32 hours for Culinary Lead, Pastry Lead, Assistant Café Manager
Enshrining the practice of paying employees more who are stepping into a higher role temporarily
Hazard pay during a state of emergency
Though we’ve set a strong foundation, there’s more work to be done. The Employer’s proposed wage scale is far from what we deserve. We know that our Cafe Team Members deserve more than minimum wage. While the Employer has come closer to our wage proposals for Shift Leads, Culinary Leads, Pastry Leads, and Assistant Café Managers, their hard work also deserves appropriate compensation.

Bargaining Update
As of June 9, 2026, we are continuing to negotiate for a new collective bargaining agreement. We have exchanged proposals on multiple articles to strengthen the current contract. We are currently focused on economic proposals. Management has proposed a new wage scale that gets closer to other area hospitals by addressing each step of the scale. This has been labor intensive for us, but we see the value in this process.
