Dear Colleagues,
Thursday, February 13, marked the end of three bargaining sessions this week, as well as the 11th session in total. A small earthquake shook the bargaining table but couldn’t rattle the parties as we made further progress in negotiations. Highlights from this session include:
- Our team put together a package of five important topics: Staffing, Education Reimbursement, Investigations and Written Warnings, Grievance and Arbitration and Workplace Violence Prevention.
- We believe this package reflects the priorities of both sides as well as the movement made by both sides over the previous 48 hours. It is our hope that this package allows the parties to close these non-economic issues out, and that we can reach agreement on this aggregate package prior to our next session.
- CRONA passed counterproposals on Weekend Staffing and New Technology.
- The parties return to the table for three days next week, February 18, 19 and 20.
- For the latest information please visit our website.
Thank you for your dedication and please stay tuned!
