Our Unit 17 bargaining team returned to the table today for the second time this week. Today, the state presented dozens of proposals they believe preserve the current intent of our contract.

Our team will work the weekend to carefully review the state’s proposals and ensure that language aligns with the priorities our members identified at bargaining surveys and town halls.

Earlier this week, the Unit 17 team focused on workloads and scheduling, including an agreement to extend the 15-day notice of shift change an additional 15 days upon request.

Your Unit 17 bargaining team goes back to the table next week. They will press the state to stop the dangerous and abusive practice of mandatory overtime with contract language that protects the health and safety of our members and the patients they provide care for. They will continue their efforts around scheduling, working conditions and compensation. 

Support your bargaining team! A great contract happens when we show the state that our members are “all in.” Purple up, stand up, and send your photos to photos@seiu1000.org
