Paycheck stubs posted today show that the Hospital has not yet implemented all increases from the ratified contract. Thank you to everyone who sounded the alarm early! We are aware of these Hospital errors and are working quickly and diligently to get them corrected.

What we have done: 

We sent a detailed spreadsheet to the Hospital by the January 5th deadline as agreed upon. This included every RN, their new pay rate, eligibility for the 3% bonus, and their new Union dues rates - above and beyond what we have ever done in the past, in an attempt to help this process as much as possible. Today, we have been in constant communication with both payroll and the VP of HR to get this fixed by Friday as required by the new contract. As we have new information we will send it out to you.

Note that the Hospital agreed to pay the $3000 full time/ $1500 part time bonus no later than January 30. In order to qualify for this bonus, you had to be employed as of December 28, 2025. 

Other Reminders: 

Next Wednesday January 21 at 6pm is our Quarterly General Membership Meeting and nominations for executive board! More information was emailed on January 6th or is available in our facebook page. Dinner provided. You must be a member in good standing to attend. See you there!
