RNs at Pacifica Hospital of the Valley in Sun Valley ratified their new contract with management nearly unanimously on Feb. 12, 2014. Only one RN voted no on the contract.

In addition to reaching agreement for much-needed and long-awaited across-the-board wage increases, RNs were also able to protect their staffing language.

MINIMAL CHANGES TO PREVIOUS CONTRACT

Our Bargaining Team knew that the priority was wage increases for every member of the Bargaining Unit. In addition to an 11 percent raise over three years, we were able to protect our staffing language and language that recognizes and protects an RN’s seniority. Not bad for a hospital that just came out of bankruptcy!

“We did it! I feel the Bargaining Team was able to get a fair contract that might not be everything we wanted, but it’s a good start.”

-- Jesse Gomez, ED, Days Bargaining Team member

“ I am satisfied with the 11 percent raise we were able to negotiate!”

-- Kathy Walker, CCU Bargaining Team member
