Bargaining Session #13

Dear UCMC Nurse Colleagues:

Today we held our 13^th bargaining session with the NNU. Both sides continued talking about the following:

• Overtime
• Nurse Weekend Bonus Pay
• Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Side Letter
• The Union passed a new Time & Attendance Side Letter
• We reached a Tentative Agreement (TA) on Holiday Rotation in the OR’s

Back-and-forth discussions are ongoing, and we continue to work towards middle ground.

We look forward to bargaining again tomorrow, December 20^th, to accomplish as much as we can before the Holidays. We have the following future bargaining dates scheduled:

January 9, 17, 18, 22, and 30.

Please visit UCMCNurses.org to learn about initial economic offers, our tuition proposals, and the tentative agreements that have been reached so far.
