/
2021 0903 - Planned Parenthood.png

Throughout 6 months of bargaining, management has pushed back on our proposals citing financial constraints. We were able to request and receive financial information from our region of the Affiliate to confirm the financial situation.

We were able to deliver our petitions and tell the stories of our current and past coworkers and the struggles we face day to day to keep the doors open and serve our patients with care and compassion.

The agreement we are recommending is for 2 years while the affiliate works to strengthen their financial position 
and includes:

  • Wage increases for all employees: 3% upon ratification with retro back to June 1; 3.5% in June of 2022

  • Additional Juneteenth (6/19) holiday

  • Improved bereavement leave

  • Improved grievance process

We said NO to:

  • Making call assignments mandatory for clinicians

  • Management’s ability to nullify our contract during emergencies like the current pandemic

We are continuing to negotiate time off for recovering for side effects of now mandatory vaccines including flu and COVID vaccines. Once we approve a contract, we can focus on building our power through legislative and organizing work.
