Providence Meal Waiver Update

On December 15, Providence rolled out a meal waiver for employees. We sent an information request to all Providence hospitals regarding this meal waiver. We currently recommend that you do not sign the voluntary meal waiver until we better understand the implications of this waiver.

Please refer to the WA meal period law for healthcare workers: Rest Breaks, Meal Periods, and Schedules.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your union rep:

  • Anthony Cantu (Providence Everett RNs)
  • Jack Crow (Providence Pros and Techs and Providence Credena)
  • Brandan Zielinski (Providence St. Peter, Providence Centralia, and Providence Radiant Care)
  • Lenaya Wilhelm (Providence Holy Family and Sacred Heart)
  • Juanita Quezada (Providence Sacred Heart and Providence St. Mary)
  • Amy Radcliff (Providence Mt. Carmel and Providence St. Josephs)
