September 30th 2024 Bargaining Update

We head back to the bargaining table Tuesday and remain focused on doing the work necessary to get a great contract.

The employer, on the other hand, is dragging their feet and playing games:

• Our team will continue fighting for the bonus shift MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) to be expanded to ALL PECSH-MNA members. Administration continues to refuse.  

• The employer informed us that they want to remove some job classifications from our union and add others. They are required to bargain with us over such matters. But it appears they have already implemented at least one change.

• At least one manager has already relayed to some members that they know what the contract will contain even though those issues haven’t been proposed at the table yet.

• They are trying to negotiate items away from the bargaining table that belong there.

Make no mistake – these are the employer’s attempts to divide us and weaken our solidarity as they try to escape accountability.

We need to stick together now more than ever.

One way to show solidarity is by putting signs in our vehicles, facing the hospital. (See the photo above for great examples from our BAT meeting last night!)

And we can all demonstrate our unity by wearing red/MNA gear in and out of work on Wednesdays.

This week’s DID YOU KNOW?

You have the legal right to participate in union activity, including collective action. It is illegal for an employer to ask you whether you have participated or intend to participate (a practice called “interrogation”). If you get asked something like this, decline to answer and notify your PECSH-MNA rep!
