Dear Colleagues,
We have officially begun formal contract talks with CRONA, the first step toward our shared goal of reaching agreements on new contracts for the nurses of SHC and LPCH. We greatly appreciated the professional and productive discussions on our first day. A few points to highlight:
- The parties return to the table again on Wednesday, Jan. 15.
- Both bargaining teams will provide their full set of non-economic proposals during the session.
- There is a great deal of work ahead, and as we mentioned in our earlier communication, we have an ambitious bargaining schedule. With the exception of next week, our schedule includes negotiations two to three times every week over the next three months.
- With negotiations, each day is unique. Some sessions may only require a very brief update, as the parties may be primarily in caucus or focused solely on a single important topic. Other updates may include much more detail—it will all depend on what happens at the table.
- Remember to check out our negotiations site. This site is your one-stop resource for updates and related bargaining information.
Thank you for your dedication and please stay tuned!
