Bargaining Update

July 17, 2026

Our RN Bargaining Team began our second bargaining date with management eager to see responses to our initial set of proposals, after providing management with more than 15 pages of proposals at our first session on June 24.

Our excitement quickly turned to disappointment when the Employer let us know that it would not have economic proposals—wages, premiums, and other items—for us that day. These sections were excluded from the Employer’s responses.

Despite this, we got right to work once we received the Employer’s non-economic counterproposals and returned our own set of counters to the Employer by the end of the day.

We reached a few minor tentative agreements, including:

• Some contract-wide job title and benefits title updates

• Mirroring paycheck availability deadlines for direct deposit

We discussed the duration of our contract with the Employer throughout the day. We proposed a three-year agreement, while the Employer indicated that it would prefer to wait until more sections of the contract are agreed upon before reaching a formal agreement. The Employer hinted at a shorter or longer duration, depending on how negotiations progress.

We indicated that while our formal proposal is for three years, we are open to discussing the duration as negotiations continue.

Lastly, we brought it to the Employer’s attention that disqualifying nurses from bonus shift incentive pay because they called out sick during that period may violate Washington state protected sick leave laws. We look forward to hearing back from management on this at our next session.

Following our next session, we plan to announce our next Bargaining Update and Contract Action Team meeting. Stay tuned for future updates and look out for our next meeting!

“We appreciate the nurses stickering up on July 16! Your support at the hospital helps us support you at the bargaining table.”

Confluence Health - Bargaining Begins at Confluence Health for the Professional First Contract

Bargaining Team: Theresa Randolph, Lab Scientist; Trisha Self, Physical Therapist; Clari Ramos, Nutrition Therapy; Jessica Schell, Social Worker; Trevor Schultz, Pharmacist.

“Overall, today had a positive outcome, and we did a lot of hard work on our proposals. Still, I am a little disappointed that management did not have much to give back to us today. I am excited to see what progress we make at future meetings.”

— Trevor Schultz

“Your Bargaining Team has put in a lot of work to get to today. We have had several meetings and put a lot of thought into the proposals we presented. Our Bargaining Team is committed to ensuring that each proposal reflects the priorities of the entire unit. We have spent a lot of time considering how each sentence could be interpreted and ensuring that all language matches our collective needs across departments.”

— Trisha Self

We have just concluded our first day of bargaining for our Union contract. We presented all of our non-economic proposals, including recognition, successorship, seniority, employment practices, job security, and a grievance procedure to protect us in our jobs.

Management responded to two of our proposals and committed to responding to the rest at our next session on the 23.

We learned a lot about the process today and are hopeful about what we can accomplish at the next meeting. This is a fluid process that is continually changing, and at this time, we are limited in what specifics we can share. Throughout this process, it is important that we maintain unity and strength to win what we deserve.

After each session, we will send one of these updates and highlight opportunities for everyone to be involved in this process through our Contract Action Team.

Please reach out with any questions or concerns to your Union Rep, Becky Latzel, or a member of the Bargaining Team.

Bargaining Update - Slow Progress

July 10, 2026

We met with TDC management and received its first economic proposal. Management proposed low wage increases, explaining that most workers received a step increase last year. Management also rejected most of our proposals.

We proposed higher wages, increases to premiums and differentials, and language to ensure that workers have a voice in decisions about health insurance.

Management said a worker committee to discuss the cost of health insurance is unnecessary because it has an open-door policy and workers can come directly to management with questions. Our proposal would create a committee that meets with management before open enrollment each year to discuss health insurance and changes to the plans.

There are many job openings, the cost of living is rising, and health insurance is expensive—particularly for workers with a high deductible.

We are preparing a response to management’s proposal. We are scheduled for a full day of bargaining on July 22, 2026.

MultiCare Capital Medical Center Professionals - Tentative Agreement Reached! Vote Scheduled! Informational picket canceled!

Our Bargaining Team at Capital Medical Center is overjoyed to announce that on Thursday, July 9, we reached a fully recommended tentative agreement with MultiCare for the Professionals’ first Union contract.

Copies of the full contract and wage scales will be available at the vote. Our Union Bargaining Team will also be present to make sure our coworkers get the necessary details before casting their ballots.

Importantly, this also means that the informational picket scheduled for Monday, July 13, is canceled.

Through our strength, determination, and collective power, we achieved a first contract that we are proud to bring to a vote, including significant wins like:

Just Cause protections, so we cannot be disciplined or terminated without substantiating evidence

Union seniority rights, so our tenure with CapMC will factor into various job protections and rights

Health insurance protections, including capped premium increases over the course of our Agreement and guaranteed benefit eligibility based on FTE

Union wage scales, securing minimum wage rates based on years of experience and continued growth through both across-the-board increases and step longevity advancement

Credit for work experience, so experience in our job classifications, including experience outside of and before Capital Medical Center, will factor directly into our placement on the Union wage scales

To read through the tentative agreement, discuss the future of our new Professionals Union, and cast your ballot, please attend one of the vote meetings below.

On Tues and Wed, July 7 and 8, our Bargaining Team and FEEST management met to negotiate your first Collective Bargaining Agreement. We made progress on several issues and reached agreements on the following:

Successorship: Protecting our Union if FEEST merges or is sold.

Union Business: Codifying the position of a Shop Steward and granting your representative access to the worksite so we can ensure the contract is followed and you can access your Union Rep.

Harassment and Discrimination: Providing strong protections that require the Employer to provide remedies if harassment or discrimination occurs against any worker.

Our Bargaining Team and FEEST management have agreed to meet next week to resume negotiations. Until then, please wear your Union gear and show solidarity with your Bargaining Team.

Next week, we hope to make progress on these proposals: Discipline and Discharge, Paid Leave, Immigration, Gender Identity, Reasonable Accommodations, health care, and Wages.

Please reach out to a Bargaining Team member if you have questions, or contact your Union Rep, David Trujillo, at (206) 436-6606.

Member Story: Silverdale Produce Clerk Tiiu Napp Finally Feels at Home

TiIu Napp

When Silverdale Safeway Produce Clerk Tiiu Napp learned that she will become a US citizen in July, she broke down in tears. “I had no idea I would react like I did, but I cried I was so happy,” she said. “This is my home and I wanted to be a part of it.”

Tiiu’s parents fled Estonia during World War II and settled in Canada, where she grew up until she immigrated to the US. After becoming a permanent resident, she landed a job as a mail carrier on a rural route for the United States Postal Service (USPS). When she retired from USPS, she got the job at Safeway and became a UFCW 3000 member.

Though she has wanted to become a citizen since she arrived, high costs and a complicated process presented major hurdles. But when she got more involved in our union during the 2025 grocery bargain, she discovered a union benefit that helped her clear those hurdles at last.

During the grocery campaign, she asked UFCW 3000 staff about Union Citizenship Action Network (UCAN), an initiative that our UFCW International runs in partnership with our local and others. The longstanding program provides legal counsel and paperwork assistance to help members complete the citizenship application in short order.

For Napp, the process felt straightforward. After learning more about the program, she signed up for a UCAN workshop, where she met with her Union Representative and another staff member. She said the staff helped explain the forms to her and clarified any questions she had. After wrapping up the paperwork, she attended an in-person interview. Once she cleared the background check, she received her date to take her oath of citizenship at the Department of Homeland Security’s offices in Tukwila.

When she got that notice, she said she felt overjoyed, relieved, and grateful for the help. “Had I done this by myself, it would have cost me a lot more money and caused a lot more stress. Our union made such a huge difference in helping me get this done,” she said.

“I am honored to be a part of this union,” she added. “There is such a huge power when workers come together collectively.”

Want Help Becoming a Citizen?

If you are interested and would like to schedule an appointment or have any questions, please contact your Union Representative.

Silverdale超市農產部員工終於Tiiu Napp終於感到在家

當Silverdale Safeway超市農產品員工Tiiu Napp知道自己將在七月成為美國公民時，她淚眼盈。「我想不到這樣的反應，但我哭因為我快樂，」她說。「這裡是我的家，而我希望成為它的一部份。」

Tiiu的父母在第二次世界大戰時從愛沙尼亞逃亡至加拿大，她在那裡長大，直至她移民到美國。在成為永久居民之後，她在郵局找到一份鄉間郵差的工作。在郵局退休後，她在Safeway找到一份工作，成為UFCW 3000工會會員。

雖然她自來美以後一直想成為公民，高昂的費用和複雜的程序使她感到障礙重重。但當在2025年食物減價期內她更為積極參加工會事務時，她發現一頁工會福利，最後期助她克服障礙。

在該次食品減價活動中，她問工會職員關於工會公民行動網絡（UCAN）事宜，這是UFWW國際工會和我們工會及其他組織的一個合作行動。該長期計劃為會員提供法律諮詢和文件工作，幫助他們迅速的完成入簡申請〔RS1.1〕。

對Napp來說，感到過程順利。在知道更多有關計劃之後，她登記參加一個UCAN的講習會，在那裡她和她的工會代表及另一名職員會面。她說職員幫助她，說明表格內容，解答她的問題。在完成文件工作之後，她參加現場面試。經過背景檢查，她收到宣誓日期的通知，地點在Tukwila國土安全部辦公室。

收到通知時，她說她很是歡喜，如釋重負，和感謝人們的幫忙。「如我自己來做，會花更多錢和感到更多壓力。我們的工會做出重大的不同，幫助我完成過程，」她說。

「我感到榮幸身為此工會的一員，」她又說。「當員工集體團結一起時，那是多大的力量。」

想成為公民嗎？

如你有興趣和想約見或有任何問題，請聯絡你的工會代表。

你可能符合資格：

• 你是合法永久居民已有多年，或你和一名美國公民結婚已有三年；

• 你並無任何未解決的刑事法庭案件；

• 你能講，寫和讀基本英語；

• 已有至少20年身為永久居民的50-54歲移民；或55歲以上身為永久居民至少有15年；或屬傷殘人士

Taga-Silverdale na Produce Clerk na si Tiiu Napp ay sa Wakas na Pakiramdam ang Pagiging Kabilang  

Noong nalaman ng taga-Silverdale na Safeway Produce Clerk na si Tiiu Napp na siya’y maging isang opisyal na mamamayan o citizen ng US noong July, napaiyak siya. “Hindi ko alam na ganun ako magrere-aksyon, pero napaiyak ako sa kasiyahan, “ ani niya. “Tahanan ko ito at gusto kong maging kabilang dito.”  

Tumakas mula sa Estonia ang mga magulang ni Tiiu noong Pangalawang Pandaigdig na Digmaan o World War II at nanirahan sa Canada, kung saan siya lumaki hanggang lumipat siya sa US. Matapos maging isang permanenteng residente, nakakuha siya ng trabaho bilang isang kartero sa isang pambukid na rota para sa United States Postal Service (USPS). Noong nag-retiro siya sa USPS, nakakuha siya ng trabaho sa Safeway at naging isang miyembro ng UFCW 3000. 

Bagamat gusto niyang maging isang citizen mula pa sa kanyang pagdating, ang mga mamahaling gastos at komplikadong proseso ay nagdulot ng malaking mga hadlang. Ngunit noong naging mas nakatuon siya sa ating unyon noong pakikipagnegosasyon sa 2025 ng grocery, nadiskubre ang isang benepisyo sa unyon na nakatulong upang mabilis na malupig ang mga hadlang na ito.  

Sa kasalukuyan ng kampanya para sa grocery, tinanong niya ang staff ng UFCW 3000 tungkol sa Union Citizenship Action Network (UCAN), isang inisyatibo na pinapatakbo ng ating UFCW International kasosyo ang ating lokal at iba pa. Ang mahabang panahon nang programang ito ay nagibibigay ng legal na payo at tulong sa mga papeles upang tulungan ang mga miyembrong makumpleto ang aplikasyon sa pagiging citizen sa madaling panahon.   

Para kay Napp, dere-deretso lang ang proseso. Matapos alamin ang programa, nag-sign-up siya para sa isang UCAN workshop, kung saan nakipagpulong siya sa kanyang Representatibo ng Unyon at isa pang miyembro ng staff. Sabi niya ay tumulong ang staff na ipaliwanag ang mga form at nilinaw ang iba pang mga tanong niya. Matapos ang pagkumpleto ng mga papeles, dumalo siya sa isang panayam nang personal. Pagkatapos siyang pumasa sa background check, natanggap niya ang petsa kung kailan niya maaaring makuha ang kanyang panunumpa bilang isang citizen sa opisina ng Department of Homeland Security sa Tukwila.  

Noong makuha niya ang paunawa, sabi niya’y sobrang saya niya, magaan ang loob, at nagpapasalamat sa tulong. “Kung ginawa ko lang ito ng sarili ko, sobrang laki ang magagastos ko at ang stress. Malaking bagay ang nagawa ng unyon upang tulungan akong kumpletuhin ito,” ani niya.  

“Karangalan kong maging isang parte ng unyong ito,” dagdag niya. “ Mayroong malaking kapangyarihan kapag nagkakaisang nagtutulungan ang mga manggagawa.”  

Gusto ba Ninyo ng Tulong Upang Maging Isang Citizen?  

Kung interesado kayo at nais ninyong mag-iskedyul ng isang appointment o mayroon kayong anumang tanong, pakikausap sa inyong Representatibo ng Unyon.  

MAAARI KAYONG KWALIPIKADO KUNG:  

• Kayo’y naging isang Legal na Permanenteng Residente o Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) ng limang taon, o tatlong taon kung kasal sa isang US citizen; 

• Wala kayong bukas, o hindi pa lutas na mga usapin sa korte kriminal; 

• Kayo’y nakakapagsalita, nakakasulat, at nakakabasa ng basikong Ingles  

• May eksepsyon para sa mga 50 hanggang 54-taong gulang kung sino’y naging mga LPR ng 20 taon man lamang; o mga 55-taong-gulang kung sino’y naging mga LPR ng 15 taon man lamang; o kung sino’y may mga kapansanan o disability.

सिल्भरडेल उत्पादन विभागकी कर्मचारी टिउ नाप्पले अन्ततः आफ्नो घर भएको महसुस गरिन्

जब सिल्भरडेल सेफवेकी उत्पादन विभाग (Produce Clerk) कर्मचारी टिउ नाप्पले जुलाई महिनामा आफू अमेरिकी नागरिक बन्ने कुरा थाहा पाइन्, उनी भावुक भएर आँसु झार्न थालिन्।“मैले यस्तो प्रतिक्रिया दिन्छु भनेर सोचेकी पनि थिइनँ, तर म अत्यन्त खुसी भएर रोएँ,” उनले भनिन्। “यो मेरो घर हो र म यसको एउटा हिस्सा बन्न चाहन्थेँ।”

टिउका आमाबुबा दोस्रो विश्वयुद्धका बेला इस्टोनियाबाट भागेर क्यानडा पुगेका थिए, जहाँ टिउले अमेरिकामा बसाइँ सर्नुअघि आफ्नो बाल्यकाल बिताइन्। स्थायी बासिन्दा बनेपछि उनले संयुक्त राज्य हुलाक सेवा (United States Postal Service - USPS) मा ग्रामीण क्षेत्रमा हुलाक वितरण गर्ने काम पाइन्। USPS बाट अवकाश लिएपछि उनले सेफवेमा काम सुरु गरिन् र UFCW 3000 की सदस्य बनिन्।

अमेरिका आएदेखि नै उनले नागरिकता लिन चाहन्थिन्, तर उच्च शुल्क र जटिल प्रक्रियाका कारण यो उनका लागि ठूलो चुनौती बनेको थियो। तर, 2025 को किराना पसलसम्बन्धी अभियान (grocery bargain/campaign) का क्रममा उनी आफ्नो युनियनमा अझ सक्रिय भएपछि उनले एउटा यस्तो युनियन सुविधाबारे थाहा पाइन्, जसले अन्ततः ती कठिनाइहरू पार गर्न उनलाई सहयोग गर्‍यो।

किराना अभियानका क्रममा उनले UFCW 3000 का कर्मचारीहरूसँग युनियन सिटिजनसिप एक्सन नेटवर्क (Union Citizenship Action Network - (UCAN) का बारेमा सोधिन्। यो UFCW इन्टरनेसनलले स्थानीय युनियनहरू र अन्य साझेदारहरूसँग मिलेर सञ्चालन गर्ने एउटा पहल हो। यो लामो समयदेखि सञ्चालन हुँदै आएको कार्यक्रमले सदस्यहरूलाई नागरिकता आवेदन पूरा गर्न कानुनी परामर्श र आवश्यक कागजी प्रक्रिया पूरा गर्न सहयोग प्रदान गर्छ।

नाप्पका लागि, यो प्रक्रिया निकै सहज महसुस भयो। कार्यक्रमबारे जानकारी पाएपछि उनले UCAN कार्यशालाका लागि नाम दर्ता गरिन्, जहाँ उनले आफ्नो युनियन प्रतिनिधि र अर्को कर्मचारीसँग भेट गरिन्। उनले भनिन् कि कर्मचारीहरूले उनलाई फारमहरू बुझ्न सहयोग गरे र आफूलाई भएका सबै प्रश्नहरूको स्पष्ट जवाफ दिए। कागजी प्रक्रिया पूरा गरेपछि, उनले प्रत्यक्ष अन्तर्वार्तामा भाग लिइन्। पृष्ठभूमि जाँच सफलतापूर्वक पूरा भएपछि उनले टुकविला (Tukwila) स्थित होमल्याण्ड सेक्युरिटी विभागको कार्यालयमा नागरिकताको शपथ लिने मिति प्राप्त गरिन्।

जब उनले त्यो सूचना प्राप्त गरिन्, उनले आफू अत्यन्त खुसी, ढुक्क र सहयोगका लागि आभारी भएको बताइन्। “यदि मैले यो प्रक्रिया आफैँ गरेको भए, यसमा धेरै बढी पैसा खर्च हुन्थ्यो र धेरै तनाव पनि हुन्थ्यो। यो काम पूरा गर्न हाम्रो युनियनले निकै ठूलो फरक पार्‍यो,” उनले भनिन्।

“म यो युनियनको हिस्सा हुन पाउँदा गर्व गर्छु,” उनले थपिन्। “जब कामदारहरू सामूहिक रूपमा एकताबद्ध हुन्छन्, त्यहाँ ठूलो शक्ति हुन्छ।”

के तपाईंलाई नागरिकता प्राप्त गर्न सहयोग चाहिन्छ?

यदि तपाईं भेटघाटको समय लिन इच्छुक हुनुहुन्छ वा कुनै प्रश्नहरू छन् भने, कृपया आफ्नो युनियन प्रतिनिधिसँग सम्पर्क गर्नुहोस्।

तपाईं योग्य हुन सक्नुहुन्छ, यदि:

· तपाईं अमेरिकी कानुनी स्थायी बासिन्दा (LPR) भएको पाँच वर्ष पूरा भएको छ, वा अमेरिकी नागरिकसँग विवाह भएको अवस्थामा तीन वर्ष पूरा भएको छ;

· तपाईंमाथि कुनै खुला, समाधान नभएको आपराधिक अदालतमा मुद्दा छैन;

· तपाईं आधारभूत अंग्रेजी बोल्न, लेख्न र पढ्न सक्नुहुन्छ

· अंग्रेजी भाषासम्बन्धी छुट 50 देखि 54 वर्ष उमेर भएका र कम्तीमा 20 वर्षदेखि LPR भएका व्यक्तिहरूका लागि; वा 55 वर्ष र त्यसभन्दा माथि उमेर भएका र कम्तीमा 15 वर्षदेखि LPR भएका व्यक्तिहरूका लागि; वा अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरूका लागि।

Providence Radiant Care - Bargaining Update

On July 7 & 8, we met with Providence for back-to-back bargaining days to continue negotiations on our union contract. Over the course of our time together, we focused heavily on the all-too-normal issues faced by employees at our clinics- chronic understaffing leading to chronic overtime, frequent traveling between clinics to help out with other chronically understaffed clinics… All leading to an increased workload, stressful work environment, and sense of uncertainty in our schedules.

While we exchanged a number of different ideas around incentives/stipends/bonuses to try and lessen the impact on our staff- we continuously stressed to Providence that overall- these ancillary solves are just that: ancillary; and frankly, if wages at Radiant Care were competitive enough to recruit and retain talented staff, we all wouldn’t need to rely on them.

In the afternoon on Wednesday, we presented Providence with a comprehensive package proposal which aims to both illustrate (and directly address) to management that wages are the permanent fix, rather than just a band-aid. After spending a bit of time reviewing the proposal, management let us know that they’d need more time to run numbers and spend time working on their end to get us a response. While we are very eager to see what their response brings- it’s also time that we have some serious conversations with our coworkers about the next steps in our contract bargain:

“We’ve come to a critical point in negotiations and we’re going to have to make important decisions about next steps that will impact all of us- therefore, we need to hear from all of you. Show up, in person, so we all know how to move forward.” -Kelly Covington, RN

CONTRACT ACTION TEAM MEETING: Friday, July 10 from 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

In-person location in Olympia forthcoming – our Bargaining Team will follow-up with the location ASAP

In the meantime, we are also officially launching Strike Pledge Cards- follow the link below to pledge your name in solidarity & show management we are ready to take action to win a strong contract!
