You authorized a strike. You sent a clear message. And at the most recent management responded by digging in, not stepping up.

Instead of building on the progress you fought for, management came back with proposals that further cement current contract language on the issues that matter most to you. Here's where things stand:

Break Relief: They Went Backward
Management reversed course on break relief. After the team pushed to expand the BMP relief nurse program to cover units where nurses can't get proper breaks, management came back with a threshold that would leave key units out.

Floating: They Tried to Corner Us
Instead of improving floating protections, management proposed language on terms more favorable to the hospital.

Health & Safety: The Bare Minimum
On environmental hazards, management would only go as far as what is specifically mandated by federal regulations. Federal regulations move slower than what you are actually experiencing inside this hospital. And on security, they crossed out language for greater security measures at the entrances.

Economics: No Movement
Management has not moved on compensation. Your bargaining team is holding firm.

What This Means

You voted to authorize a strike because management was not bargaining in good faith. What happened at this session proves why that vote was necessary.

Talk to your coworkers. Ask them what they know about what's happening at the table. Make sure every nurse in this hospital understands what management is doing.

We voted. We meant it. And we're not backing down.
