It’s 5:30pm, and my coworkers have all gone home. And here I am with the bargaining team! I’ve been at Highland since 7:00am, seeing patients in the morning, then rushing off to bargaining at 12:30pm (while intermittently answering pages during the day; my colleague who would normally be covering for me is on vacation, but was nice enough to come in for the afternoon to allow me to be at the table. Thanks Jenn!). It would be nice if we were close to being done.
We’re waiting for management to return, and we’ll be getting just about everything NOT about money off the table. That includes the clinical ladder, the new Patient Care Committees, a weekend-only pilot program for JGPP, tweaking of the shift differential language to better reflect actual practices, and some other minor things. Money is a big thing, and the sick leave thing we’re looking forward to having some minor improvements. Here’s hoping that a deal gets done soon.
Management is coming back in the room right now. Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy…..
