In our first bargaining sessions, we were able to reach agreement with management on some important standard contract language, which will make room to dive into the issues that matter most to Nurses.

Top issues

We have presented and begun discussing a proposal for safe floating guidelines, one of the top issues from your bargaining surveys,  and we presented a proposal that would improve the hospital’s preparedness in certain public health emergencies such as pandemics.

What’s next

In upcoming sessions we will present proposals for improvements to Nurses’ compensation that will help Greater El Monte recruit and retain Nurses.

We’re off to a strong start, but the road ahead might be rough. Management can quickly change their tune when we start discussing things that impact their bottom line. And that’s where you come in. Stay tuned, and be ready!
