THANKS FOR ALL THE SUPPORT-Baca

Join Fred Katz, Juniper Arthurs, and David Baca as we go over mediation and the 2020 contract negotiations.

The first mediation session was a disaster with no hospital proposals.  The tone has changed and now nurses have to decide on what to do next.

Admin and leadership feel that they have the nurses in a position to accept a terrible deal.  Short staffing will continue under this current contract.

PLEASE FILL OUT YOUR SURVEY

Thanks for listening- Baca

Join Fred Katz, Juniper Arthurs, and David Baca as we give you a negotiation update.

The contract is expiring soon and it does not seem like the hospital cares very much to renew it.  The nurses at ARRMC must bind together and help to provide guidance in this time.

Do we have the strength to fight back for better insurance against a tiered system of healthcare.

Please fill out your survey and help guide the negotiation team.

Join Fred Katz and David Baca as we wrap up negotiation session #1.

It is the age of social distancing and your negotiations are done via the web.  It was disappointing to say that we can not have observers for your negotiations until at least session #3.

We talk about some of ONA's proposals and the need for attendance during the event even via Webex.  Also how you can stay in touch with your negotiators via facebook messenger.  This will be done during the negotiations via the messenger app.
