Kaiser Spokane Pharmacy Techs - Onward to Economics
/
We reached new tentative agreements last week on Weekend and Holiday Standby Shifts, Vacation Requests, and Seniority. The Standby shift language includes 1 ½ premium when called-in, and that will help incentivize us to sign up and work the shifts where we need staffing coverage.
Our next bargaining sessions will be in June and July and we will focus on float issues and economics—we are working hard to confirm dates as soon as possible.
“We are continuing to move forward in a positive direction and are excited to finally dig into economics—working towards a wage scale that rewards our experience and dedication with Kaiser.”
– Jackie McFarlen and Tiffany Yeates, Bargaining Team
In the following weeks, you will also start receiving updates on National Bargaining—one of the Spokane Techs will join members in Western WA and the Alliance of Healthcare Unions to push for improvements to Education benefits, Bonuses, Retiree Medical Benefits, and other benefits under the National Agreement.
Questions, please reach out to the Bargaining Team or Union Representative Maureen Hatton, 509-340-7370.
