Negotiations Update
As you may remember from the last contract update, SHARE recently received a counter-proposal from management about raises. It’s progress, but the SHARE Negotiating Team believes it’s not for SHARE members yet.
Now is the time for SHARE members to show support for strong contract. Two-thousand four-hundred SHARE members’ signatures on our 2022 Signature Poster makes a beautiful and powerful statement about what SHARE members care about. The SHARE Negotiating Team asks you to continue to show your support for a great contract: come to a Poster Unveiling event near you, put the poster up in your area, take pictures of SHARE members with their poster, and come to SHARE contract events. (See even more ways to show your support in this special section of the SHARE website dedicated to our current negotiations.)
Our message for the hospital management is this: SHARE members need good raises to attract and retain skilled, committed staff, especially to recognize all the sacrifices during COVID.
While raises are the main focus of contract negotiations, we are talking with management about how to support SHARE members’ career development, and how to help members who are dealing with housing crises due to the rapidly rising rent, among other issues.
The University Campus poster event was a great success. Next stop: Memorial!
News from the Partnership Office: UBT’s Making a Difference!
SHARE is excited to turn the spotlight on two recent UBT updates: the Rheumatology department on the Memorial campus has developed a useful system for communicating with patients about wait-times, and the new Psychiatry Lean Team at 100 Century Drive is making headway on new projects to improve patient care and how it feels to come to work everyday. The Partnership Office also offers this helpful tip for departments with UBTs to get more bang for their buck.
