The overwhelming majority of Providence Tarzana RNs and Professionals voted to approve an Informational Picket. It was an impressive turnout for an important vote — our members have spoken! Our Bargaining Team has heard loud and clear that members don’t like management’s proposals and are willing to take action. Now it’s up to our Bargaining Team to determine if and when we’ll hold our picket. What happens in negotiations June 6 & 9 will likely be the deciding factor.
Stay tuned for their decision!
Some of the issues on the table:
- Management has proposed a wage freeze.
- Maintenance of the current wage scale. Management wants to lower our scale by 6 percent over two years.
- Maintenance of 10 percent Charge RN differential. Management has proposed that any RN who is not an official Charge RN receive an additional $3.50 per hour instead of a 10 percent differential.
- Our team has proposed that we receive a retirement program equal to that which Providence St. Joseph RNs receive.
- Management wants the explicit right to subcontract our jobs.
Building Our Union
It takes a lot of participation by members to keep everyone informed, help our Bargaining Team get a good contract and to build our Union! On this page are Tarzana members who have volunteered to serve their unit by serving as a Union liaison. Let’s thank these members for going above and beyond the call of duty!
If you have questions about bargaining or how our Union can help resolve workplace issues, please contact a liaison in your unit or one nearby.
