SHARE members filled out over 4000 surveys to prepare for contract negotiations this year on a range of topics: retention and why staff stay or leave, benefits, career opportunities, our COVID experience, money, and our priorities for contract negotiations. SHARE members have been through a lot, and have a lot to say.
This final report puts it all together under the following headings:
1. Raises Are Our Top Priority
2. Keeping Staff: Pay and Staffing Levels Go Hand and Hand
3. COVID: What We’ve Been Through
4. High Priority: Hold onto Great Benefits
5. Career Opportunities for SHARE Members: So Much Potential
6. Respect and the Daily Experience
The SHARE negotiating team has used this information to help define our union’s priorities. The team presented the report in its entirety to management in negotiations as part of its opening statement.
