Providence Centralia Technical - CONTRACT RATIFIED!
/On Thursday, June 12, healthcare technical workers at Providence Centralia overwhelmingly ratified our new union contract following a series of highly attended vote meetings! After wrapping up negotiations in just five focused sessions with management, our bargaining team is proud of the work we accomplished at the table—and proud to share this win with all of you!
What's Next?
Finalizing the Contract: Our union and Providence will now work to finalize and sign the new agreement. Once complete, printed copies will be distributed throughout the hospital.
Access in the Meantime: Redlined versions of the full agreement—including updated contract language and new wages—will be uploaded to our union's website so everyone can check them out right away.
Wage Increases: Our new wages will go into effect at the start of the pay period following two pay periods from June 12; which means we should see the new rates take effect in mid-July, and increases will show up on our paychecks around the beginning of August.
Experience Audit:
Within forty-five (45) days from June 12, we will receive the experience review form from Providence—based on this timeline, we expect to see the audit form be available by July 27.
Once received, we have thirty (30) days to fill it out, by including all healthcare Tech experience!
Once the experience form is closed for new submissions, Providence will notify all of us our new proposed step placement within thirty (30) days thereafter!
If you have any questions about our new union contract, please reach out to our Union Rep Collin Greer @ 360-662-1982, or contact a member of our bargaining team!
