Capping years of discussions aimed at making the pay our nurses receive more reflective of the valuable work they do for the state of California, our Unit 17 bargaining team presented a proposal to the state that would adjust the wages in six nursing classifications in certain departments.

The affected classifications are:

Nurse Consultants
Nurse Practitioners
Health Facility Evaluator Nurses
Nurse Evaluator II
Health Service Specialists
Registered Nurses working in State Special Schools

Six Local 1000 members representing the affected classifications joined our team at the bargaining table today as Subject Matter Experts and spoke to how our proposal will boost recruitment and retention, decrease workloads and improve the quality of care we provide to all Californians.
