AHS Bargaining Update for RNs (June 24, 2020)

We Met with Management Again

Here’s What We Got:
More Union-Busting and Contempt for Workers

Their Vision for Us:
No Safe Staffing, More Expensive Health Care, and Worse Holiday Pay

Their Vision for Public Health:
Re-Used N95 Masks and Zero County Oversight

On Tuesday, June 23, we sat down with management again. After passing us 120+ pages of proposals and refusing to give us caucus time to review them, they accused us of bargaining in bad faith. Meanwhile, they continued to show us what real bad-faith bargaining looks like by continuing to refuse to respond to our months-old proposals for safe staffing, job security, and raises.

Management also proposed to take away our right to go on sympathy strike and limit our number of stewards! Our bosses hate our union. If that weren’t enough, they also want to claw back our ability to go on modified duty, potentially forcing us to go on unpaid status when we get sick or hurt.
