On Friday, August 1, our SEIU 121RN and SEIU-UHW Bargaining Team members from Kindred Southbay and Tri-Cities met for the second time with Kindred Management to negotiate our new collective bargaining agreement. We were able to reach tentative agreements (TA) on the following articles:
- Preamble
- Bulletin Boards
- Discharges
- No Discrimination
- Safety
- Bereavement Leave
- Jury Duty Leave
We also reached an agreement for interim access at the South Bay Facility for our 121RN and UHW Union Representatives. Union Representatives will be allowed two hours each week to meet with members on site.
