PRMCE Technical - Tentative Agreement Reached Bargaining Team Unanimously Recommends a Yes Vote

/

On January 18, 2022 our bargaining team reached a tentative agreement on our contract. This expedited bargaining process has been successful and resulted in big wins for our bargaining unit without any takeaways.

  • The three-year agreement includes:

  • Competitive wage increases, including market adjustments for many classifications

  • Bonus upon ratification and one year later

  • Improvements to step progressions in the wage scale

  • Increases to education funds

  • Increases to evening and night shift differentials

  • Increases to Standby Pay 

  • Increases to Preceptor Pay

  • Improvement to Bereavement Leave

  • Improvements to grievance procedure

  • New Standby bonus for excessive standby hours

  • AND NO TAKEAWAYS

“We’re happy to have bargained early to implement wage increases before the expiration of our contract. This contract will help our hospital retain the team we have and recruit so that we can provide the best level of care. We fought hard to make sure that everyone’s voices were heard and encourage you to vote YES on this offer. Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

Our PRMCE Professionals Bargaining Team: Maria Goodall, Vascular Ultrasound; Darryl Keffer, Respiratory; Rodney Powers, Diagnostic Imaging; Terryl Smith, Pharmacy Tech
