We’re excited to share that bargaining is officially underway — and your bargaining team is already making progress on the issues that matter most to you.

Thanks to your survey responses, we came to the table with a clear mandate: fight for a contract that reflects your priorities, protects your rights, and strengthens nurse and patient safety.

🟣 What’s Happening at the Table:

This week, we reached Tentative Agreements (TAs) on several foundational articles, including:

• Nursing Practice Standards — affirming your professional judgment and autonomy
• Grievance Procedure — ensuring fair and transparent resolution of workplace issues
• Union Representation — protecting your right to organize and advocate
• 6/2 Program — securing clarity and agreement on this critical scheduling structure

And we’re just getting started.

🔜 What’s Coming Next:

We’ll be tackling some of the most urgent and sensitive issues raised by members, including:

• Retaliation — protecting nurses who speak up
• Breaks — ensuring time to rest and recharge
• Floating — addressing fairness and safety in assignments

These are not just bargaining topics — they’re daily realities for nurses across our hospital. And we need your voice to keep them front and center.

📣 Your Role Is Critical

Your bargaining team is strong, but we’re strongest when we’re united. In the coming weeks, we’ll be asking for your support in a variety of ways:

• Join your department’s WhatsApp group to stay informed and connected
• Attend our town halls to hear updates and share your voice
• Participate in tabling events, purple days, and sticker actions
• Talk to your coworkers and help build momentum

Our contract leads the nation in setting standards for nurse and patient safety. Let’s keep it that way — and make it even stronger.

Together, we’re building a contract we can be proud of.
