Our SEIU Local 121RN Bargaining Team met with management yesterday to continue negotiating our new contract. Bargaining generally moves slowly at the beginning as we hash out a slew of proposals over staffing and other working conditions. We were able to come to Tentative Agreement* over two articles – harassment and nondiscrimination.

Proposals were made on language regarding Discipline, Committees for Quality Care, and more. Our next bargaining date is Nov. 15.

* A Tentative Agreement is when both the 121RN and management teams are satisfied with one article within the contract. The teams sign off on the article but must come to agreement on the entire contract before the membership will vote on it. The contract is no longer tentative once 121RN members vote to approve it.
