Things are moving along. Nomination petitions (to elect members of the bargaining team) are being submitted as I type this. If you’ve got a hankerin’ to be a-bargainin’, there’s still time; forms are due by this Friday, and all you need are ten signatures on the form. The more the merrier. And, like I said before, this is going to be a bigger bargaining team than in the past, so we absolutely NEED more people this time around.
But we do need a bit of a push on another front. The union needs to collect as many contract surveys as possible before the end of next week, so as to help us more effectively craft our proposals and strategies. Ideally, we’ll get one from every member of the RN bargaining unit by July 8. There are about 850 members in the unit, but, as of yesterday, only 50 surveys had been submitted.
If you’re a new shop steward, this is something easy you can do to help—get your coworkers to fill out their surveys and give them to you.
Like, really soon.
Seriously. Let’s do this. Nobody’s going to do it for us.
