Do you work at PeaceHealth Southwest?
OFNHP is working with the nurses at PHSW to address health and safety problems for all staff around the hospital. The first step is our joint health and safety survey. The point of this survey is to get a better idea of what health and safety issues are a concern for staff and where in the hospital problems are occurring.
One ballot question has captured the attention of voters in the Bay State: whether or not to set safe patient limits for nursing care in hospitals. Question 1, backed by the Massachusetts Nurses Association, would require hospitals to limit the number of patients assigned to each nurse depending on the type of hospital unit and acuity of patients.
OFNHP President Adrienne Enghouse and Kaiser Westside Medical Center RN Courtney Smith flew to Boston to help with the Get Out The Vote Efforts for the #YesOn1 campaign.
August 26, 2018- On Sunday, members from our bargaining units at PeaceHealth Southwest Medical Center celebrated the work that has been done in the one year since members have decided to form a union and ratified their first contracts.
After our breakthrough on staffing last week in local bargaining, we had hoped to be announcing an agreement that safeguards the benefits our families depend on.
Friday, August 10, PeaceHealth Sacred Heart techs voted overwhelmingly to ratify our first union contract with just cause protection, guaranteed wage increases, and PTO accrual on all hours worked!
