Dear Colleagues,
January 29 marked our fourth negotiation session with CRONA for our SHC and LPCH nurses and our second of three sessions scheduled for this week. The tone was again both positive and productive. The day’s highlights include:
- Our team passed counterproposals on Nurse Staffing, On-Call System and Sleep Room, Schedule Posting, Workplace Violence and Vacancies and Internal Transfers.
- The CRONA team provided responses on Shift Trades, Vacancies and Internal Transfers, and Nurse Practice Committee.
- The parties reached their first tentative agreement (TA) on SHC’s proposal on Section 22 – Time Off For CRONA Officers.
- In terms of our team’s Workplace Violence proposal, the safety of our staff and patients remains a top priority. Our proposal commits to:
- Using best efforts to offer reassignments to RNs who have been subject to workplace violence or threats while continuing to ensure we meet our commitment to patient care.
- Providing quarterly updates on both the number of workplace violence incidents as well as data on the reassignments offered.
- We will return to the table today, January 30, with both parties looking to exchange additional counterproposals and continuing to narrow gaps.
- Remember to check out our negotiations site for the latest negotiations updates
Thank you for your dedication and please stay tuned!
