PHSW Stewards Win Large Backpay Award

OFNHP stewards are at it again--enforcing our contracts to protect our hard-won wages and benefits! For the last two years, PeaceHealth has incorrectly calculated PTO by not including evening and night shift differentials in the pay. Stewards grieved the issue and prevailed, returning over $200,000 to the pockets of our members! Thanks to the perseverance of our stewards, management has fixed their practice, and more than 550 members who got short-changed will see backpay on their next paycheck!

Town Hall: Changes to State Retiree Prescription Coverage

MCEA will hold a Town Hall Meeting concerning changes to State Employee Retiree prescription coverage.

On May 29, the Surgical Support Aides and the Rad Tech Student Coordinator at PHSW voted to join OFNHP! They join nearly 1500 OFNHP members working in the PeaceHealth system in the Northwest.

What makes this possible? Part of the dues we contribute as union members goes to supporting non-union workers who want to join with us. It's how we continue to build strength in our industry for better contracts!

On May 22, our Alliance Unions reached agreement with Kaiser Permanente on an updated version of the original 1997 founding LMP Agreement. The updated LMP Agreement fully preserves our employment security and union rights, while reflecting today’s priorities, structures, and challenges.
