Update: March 14
In our first negotiating session, our bargaining team made six contract proposals, covering:
- Courtesy
- Just Culture
- Probationary Period and Evaluation
- Recognition and Coverage
- Savings Clause
- Non-Discrimination
In some ways, Just Culture might be the most important. Just Culture helps ensure that our workplace remains one where employees can share safety concerns to improve processes and achieve the safest conditions for optimal patient care.
In contract bargaining, each side makes proposals, the other side counters. When an agreement is reached on an article between our union and management, that becomes a Tentative Agreement or TA. Our bargaining team is optimistic that we will reach our first TA in next week’s negotiations.
We Have a New Name
Our new chapter has an official new name!
Our new name is UNAHI (pronounced oo-NAH-hee, like unagi or ahi), which stands for the United Nurse Anesthetists of Hawaii.
