Your Bargaining Team has reached a tentative agreement with management on a new three-year collective bargaining agreement for Registered Nurses at Auburn Medical Center. We are very excited to tell you that this agreement includes the following: 

  • UNPRECEDENTED WAGE INCREASES that would give Auburn Medical Center one of the highest RN wage scales in King County.

  • INCLUDES FULL RETRO PAY BACK TO AUGUST 15, 2021!

  • SOME OF THE HIGHEST PREMIUMS IN THE REGION! Increases to shift differential, standby pay, weekend premium, charge nurse pay, preceptor pay, and float pay.

  • Maintained annual bonuses for members at the top of the wage scale. 

  • New language that forbids the employer from forcing nurses to float to other hospitals,

  • Improved charge nurse language allowing nurses to object to the assignment,

  • No health care premium increases next year with caps in subsequent years,

  • Permanently added the Spot Bonus Incentive plan into our contract,

  • And so much more!

The full details of the offer will be made available during our online vote meeting on October 25.
