MWMC · Bargaining Update 4
We know what our work is worth
“$54 million out of our hospital and the State of Oregon,* and they’re STILL crying broke!”
– Kyle LoGiudice, Pharmacy Tech
Meanwhile, Management’s economic proposals barely moved, including a historically low across-the-board raise offer:
Our health insurance is also changing. Management offered two options: keep the current plan with higher costs, or switch to a new plan with an optional HSA or FSA.
We know what our work is worth, and we’re not settling for less.
*Over the past six years, McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center in Springfield, Oregon, paid more than $54 million in management fees to its out-of-state corporate parent. Management has never explained what those fees paid for or how they helped our hospital.
