Dear Colleagues,
Thursday, March 20, wrapped up the last of three bargaining sessions scheduled for the week. Highlights of the day include:
- CRONA provided responses on eight non-economic topics and shared that they hope to provide their next response on economics on the morning of Tuesday, March 25.
- Our team is also in the process of quickly responding to new data requests from CRONA as we want to make sure they have the information they need to help form their responses.
- Finally, to help ensure we have every opportunity to reach an agreement before the contract expires on March 31, we let CRONA know we’d be available for three additional days next week (Friday, March 28, Saturday, March 29, and Sunday, March 30).
- CRONA agreed to Friday, March 28, and stated they can be available for March 29 and 30 as needed. We greatly appreciate CRONA’s willingness to expand the bargaining schedule.
- CRONA agreed to Friday, March 28, and stated they can be available for March 29 and 30 as needed. We greatly appreciate CRONA’s willingness to expand the bargaining schedule.
- We return to the table on Tuesday, March 25, and we look forward to continuing our progress next week, closing gaps and reaching as soon as possible an agreement that our nurses are proud to support.
Thank you for your dedication and please stay tuned!
