1 Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) Bargaining Unit Newsletter Dec. 11, 2017 ONA/MCW Executive Committee Chair: Angie Kimani, RN, WHBCC McKenzie-Willamette (MCW) Newsletter for Nurses Please attend! ONA Convention & House of Delegates April 18-20, Bend, OR Learn more at NURSES UNITE IN SOLIDARITY! Secretary/Treasurer: Jeffrey Crow Bolt, RN, Emergency Services Members: Katie Mattox, RN, CVICU Leah Emmett, RN, CVICU Rauchel Lyons, RN, Emergency Services Trish Jensen-Walch, RN, CVICU More than 100 nurses and our supporters join together to protest employer s refusal to bargain over mandatory call and noncompliant process for selecting nurse representatives to staffing committee. Read the story on page 2. PLEASE NOTE! ONA labor relations representative Gary Aguiar is on leave until the end of December. If you need assistance, please contact an executive committee member, or reach out to our backup ONA labor relations representative, Christine Hauck, at Hauck@OregonRN.org. Above and below: On Nov. 28, 2017, more than 100 nurses and their supporters gathered in the main lobby of McKenzie-Willamette for a unity break in support of our fellow nurses. Our employer has taken actions contrary to both our Oregon Nurses Association (ONA)/McKenzie- Willamette contract and the law by imposing mandatory call without bargaining with us and ignoring ONA s obligation to select representatives to the staffing committee. Oregon Nurses Association (ONA) SW Boones Ferry Road Suite 200, Tualatin OR within Oregon
2 Page 2 NURSES UNITE IN SOLIDARITY! On Nov. 28, 2017, ONA nurses at McKenzie- Willamette united to demonstrate solidarity. More than 100 nurses and their supporters joined together for a unity break in the hospital main lobby. Nurse leaders spoke positively about our joint efforts to protect our patients. Nurses from all ten departments in our hospital were well-represented, and attendees included several families and young children. Nearly one-third of our bargaining unit joined to display solidarity with our nurse colleagues. Our employer has ignored our efforts to advocate for our patients with regard to adequate staffing on two issues. We expect the hospital to obey the law and good practice. They should listen to us, their most valued and trusted employees, who are advocating for adequate patient care. Above: After joining together for a unity break in the main lobby, nurses marched to McKenzie-Willamette s administration wing, where our ONA nurse leaders presented the employer with petitions signed by more than 400 nurses and supporters, including over 75 percent of nurses in our bargaining unit. The petitions asked the employer to rescind mandatory call in WHBCC. REFUSAL TO BARGAIN OVER MANDATORY CALL For many months, we have been trying to get the employer to bargain over a change in working conditions in Women s Health, Birth, and Children s Center (WHBCC). When we negotiated a new contract with the employer, they did not propose to institute mandatory call in any of the units. This summer, as part of a WHBCC unit reorganization, the employer required WHBCC nurses to take four six-hour shifts of stork call in their six-week Above: Members of our ONA executive committee (from left: Leah Emmett, Trish Jensen, Rauchel Lyons, and Angie Kimani) welcomed nurses to the lunch following our unity break. schedule rotation. At an Oct. 5 grievance meeting attended by 22 nurses from four departments, the employer refused to bargain with ONA on this issue, even though they are required to do so under federal law. We proposed a compromise: we would withdraw our demand to bargain if the employer rescinded mandatory call and agreed to a reset of the WHBCC s unit practice committee (UPC) with fair and open elections to decide the issue. The employer refused to respond. After many months, our ONA leaders decided nurses have been patient long enough. We are filing an unfair labor practice (ULP) with the National Labor Relations Board. This federal agency will adjudicate the issue, and we believe they will require our employer to bargain with us over this matter. SELECTION OF NURSE RESPRESENTATIVES TO STAFFING COMMITTEE In addition, the employer continues to flaunt the Oregon Hospital Nurse Staffing Law by ignoring ONA s obligations to oversee the election of staff nurses to our hospital s nurse staffing committee. Last year, ONA followed the law and elected direct care nurses as representatives to the staffing committee in a fair and open process. When a vacancy occurred this summer in (Continued on page 3)
3 Page 3 New Contract Highlight: MEALS NURSES UNITE IN SOLIDARITY! (continued from page 2) Below: Gary Aguiar (standing), our ONA labor relations representative, reported we are filing an unfair labor practice (ULP) in response to our employer s refusal to bargain over the imposition of mandatory call. WHBCC, we held an election in which our bargaining unit co-chair, Angie Kimani, was duly elected as the primary staff nurse representative from her unit. Inexplicably, the employer refused to recognize her as the legitimate representative of WHBCC nurses. Then the employer proposed a revision to the staffing committee charter that strips ONA s power to oversee the election. Without adequate notice to floor nurses, the staffing committee voted to change its charter contrary to the law. The employer is complicit in obstructing our legal responsibilities under both state and federal law to ensure nurses voices are central to staffing decisions at our hospital. We have repeatedly brought this noncompliance issue to the employer s attention. Remarkably, they stand by their decision. The law clearly requires the union, that is, nurses organized to support each other, to oversee the selection process. The education committee has tried a few new things this year. Beginning Dec. 1, members who have reached maximum dollars and/or hours for 2017 may request up to an additional $250 dollars and/or 10 hours on a first come, first served basis, until funds/ hours are exhausted. Starting in 2018, members will be expected to turn in reimbursement requests 30 days after the education event is held. In return, McKenzie-Willamette will work to ensure the paid continuing education unit (CEU) hours are available to be entered in Kronos within seven days of submitting the reimbursement request. Finally, the education YOUR ASSISTANCE On both these matters, we are prepared to meet with our employer to discuss the issues. We have proposed reasonable solutions that comport with our obligations under the law. The tremendous support of nurses at the unity break and on Facebook have demonstrated nurses speak with one voice on these issues. We ask you to continue to learn and educate others about the issues. Need more information or want to get more involved? Please contact your steward or executive officer. Below: At lunch after the unity break, ONA executive committee member Leah Emmett (standing) explained how the Oregon Hospital Nurse Staffing Law empowers nurses to advocate for safe patient care. Education Committee Update committee is always looking for additional representatives to promote professional development of our members. For more information, please contact Deanne Miller (SSU/PAT).

4 Page 4 Kay Knighten-Young recently retired after several decades of service to McKenzie-Willamette. During her time here, she worked as a floor nurse Thank you, Kay Knighten-Young! and manager in many departments. In the last year, Kay had become very active in ONA, serving as a steward and briefly as our bargaining unit cochair. Her passion, intelligence, and experience inspired others to get involved in ONA. Kay, we will miss you! Our leadership cadre continues to grow! Today, we have 27 trained stewards prepared to assist other nurses. ONA stewards are the first line of support for bedside nurses in our relations with our employer. We now have at least one steward on each of our ten units. Our goal is to have a steward on every shift, every day, every unit. If you are interested in learning more about your rights under our contract and how we operate as an association, please consider getting trained as a Adult Care Medicine Jenny Coyne, Lainey Rasmussen, Tammy Craig Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit Leah Emmett, Trisha Jensen, Joseph Walch Cardiovascular Operating Room/ Cardiac Catheterization Lab Leslie Palstring Emergency Services Phil Johnson, Becky Dubrasich, Crow Bolt, Rauchel Lyons Float Pool Shannon Carpani, Tracy Kane Intensive Care Unit Kate Morris, Kevin Drew Our Union Stewards steward. You can also attend steward training with no obligation to sign up as steward. What we really want is for our members to understand the many functions and roles of ONA at our hospital and in the state. If you decide to become a steward, that s great! Come, learn your rights and our functions, and decide later if you want to serve. If you d like to know more, please reach out to any member of our executive committee. List of Current Union Stewards Operating Room Rene Riley, Rick Drayse Post-Anesthesia Care Unit Amy Mack, Chris Manuel SCU Curt Stupasky Short Stay, Endoscopy, Pre-Admission Testing Syndee Lytle Women s Health, Birth, and Children s Center Angie Kimani, Christine Frederick, Fie McWilliams, Candy Bigbee, Kathleen Jackson, Raelyn Radich PNCC INVITES YOUR PARTICIPATION Our contract encourages bedside nurses to recommend improvements in nursing practice through our professional nursing care committee (PNCC). Our PNCC meets monthly under the leadership of PNCC chair Leah Emmett (cardiovascular ICU) with terrific support by three other nurses: Shannon Carpani (float), Kate Morris (ICU), and Angie Nelson-Kelly (adult care medicine). Our contract allows up to six committee members to be paid for participating in this committee. Thus, we are seeking two more nurses to join this important group. In particular, we would love to see representation from surgical services, emergency, or women s health. If you are interested, please contact Leah Emmett.
5 Page 5 Short Stay Side Letter Nurses in short stay unit, pre-admission testing, and endoscopy (SSU/PAT/Endo) have been patiently waiting to resolve a remnant of last year s contract negotiations. We are bargaining a side letter to increase the number of nurses who may be granted paid time off (PTO) on the same day. Due to several hiccups on both sides, our bargaining was delayed over the summer. Syndee Lytle has agreed to serve as our lead steward on this issue. We appreciate the patience of SSU/PAT/Endo nurses, many of whom are having a difficult time using their PTO. We are hopeful we can find a deal that works for both our nurses and our employer. We proposed and the unit s nurses have agreed that every nurse must be fully oriented to all tasks in their assignment. Thus, they can cover nurses who are on vacation. We recently presented a counterproposal to our employer that addresses our two remaining sticking points. First, we proposed that a minimum of four nurses should be granted vacations at one time. The employer will only agree to three. With 18 nurses on the master schedule, we think the unit can function with four nurses off. Our counterproposal agrees to a minimum of three for now. However, when the master schedule reaches 26 nurses, requests for PTO by four nurses would be approved. Further, the employer would like to limit the number of nurses off at one time to two per shift. This would mean that morning shift senior nurse s request could be denied while a less senior afternoon nurse s request would be granted. We cannot agree to this provision. OUR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU! Executive Committee Meetings Upcoming Dates All meetings are held 9 a.m.-noon in the Willamette Room in the Medical Office Building. Jan. 8, 2018 Feb. 5, 2018 March 5, 2018 At our monthly meetings, our bargaining unit s executive committee makes decisions on how we can foster exemplary patient care at McKenzie-Willamette. We prioritize patients over shareholder profits. We identify issues, develop strategies, and deploy our limited resources to allow bedside nurses to provide the highest care possible for our patients. Our executive committee meetings are open to all ONA members in good standing. We warmly invite you to attend our meetings, which are held on the first Monday of each month, 9 a.m.-noon in the Willamette Room in the Medical Office Building. Our next meeting on Jan. 8, 2018, will be a special planning meeting. We are encouraging all of our stewards and other nurse leaders to attend that day. We will engage in a collaborative process to ensure we are representing every nurse in every unit. Please make an extra effort to attend that meeting!

Come meet the team at the next executive committee meeting on Jan. 8.
