3.7.19 Bargaining Update

3/7/2019

We’re SO Close!

Dear fellow Munson nurse,

We have been negotiating at a furious pace and are very close to reaching an overall TA. Last week we negotiated for three straight days. We have continued to trade proposals with management since then in the hopes of pulling together a complete agreement. Right now the outstanding issues are scheduling, a management rights clause, and a few remaining issues regarding our wages. The solidarity of the Munson nurses is making a significant difference in the negotiations. When we reach an overall tentative agreement we will have more details for you and the next step will be a ratification vote where members will have the ability to review the agreement and have the final say. If we are unable to reach a complete TA then we will provide a detailed breakdown of where we are apart and our next steps. We know everyone wants to know every detail as it happens, but please keep standing in solidarity and in support of our collective efforts for a fair first contract. As long as we stand together, we know we can win!

Sincerely,
Your RN Bargaining Team
