VFHM St. Joseph Medical Center Pharmacy - Bargaining Begins

Our Bargaining Team, Left to Right Top to Bottom:

Amanda Carter, Heather Surerus-Lopez, Becky Christensen, Beau Chiba, Aimee Cooke

On August 11, your Pharmacy Bargaining Team met with management to begin our contract negotiations. While wages will come at a later bargaining date, we had a productive first day. The team was able to discuss PTO concerns, some economic items, and many of the concerns identified thru your surveys and feedback.

Future bargaining dates include August 24, August 31, September 12, and September 28. There’s still room for new Contract Action Team members. If interested, reach any of the bargaining team members below for more information.

“Good conversations were had today at the table. We presented some of our priorities and I look forward to managements response at our next negotiations.”

“Our first bargaining session went well, and we achieved agreements on some initial proposals. We’re off to a good start.”
