HHS · Bargaining Update 1
Your bargaining team hit the ground running!
At our first session on Tuesday, Oct. 20, we went straight to our top priorities, including a wage scale that helps keep and attract quality workers and recognizes our dedication to our patients and our community.
Ground rules agreement reached
Management accepted our ground rules before the end of the meeting.
We presented proposals on:
- Article 2 – Discrimination & Confidentiality
- Article 23 – Wages: A new wage scale, with placement on the scale based on previous experience
- Article 24 – Differentials: More differentials added to this article
- Article 38 – Duration
- Education Trust Fund
Already winning
We’ve already won money back for new hires!
While researching current wages, your team found that 20 new hires were not being paid the correct starting wage. In most cases this goes back to January. We brought it to HR, and they are fixing the problem.
This is what happens when we stand together.
What’s next?
Next session: Tuesday, Nov. 17

Our goal is to win a contract with a fair wage scale that recognizes our experience and fair differentials, so HHS can attract and keep quality workers and our patients and community get the care they deserve.
