Pacific Northwest Hospital Medicine Association (PNWHMA)
Hospitalists, nurses and other community members rally in support of a fair contract during the last negotiations in 2018.
Finally—it’s President-elect Biden
Patience—counseled by former Vice President Joe Biden all election week as Americans waited for votes to be counted—finally paid off Nov. 7, four days after Election Day, when Biden won in Pennsylvania and gained enough Electoral College votes to acquire a new title: president-elect. AFT President Randi Weingarten says the union’s leaders and members “can’t wait to get started” on the work ahead “with an administration that will embrace and fight for the values we hold dear.”
Your vote is your voice
AFT President Randi Weingarten’s latest column outlines the urgency of using our voices—our votes—in this life-changing election, when we will make a choice “between President Donald Trump, who has trafficked in chaos, fear, lies and division, and former Vice President Joe Biden, who seeks to reverse Trump’s failures on COVID-19 and the economy, and to unite and uplift the American people.” Besides the four crises we face—a pandemic, an economic crisis, racism and a climate emergency—democracy itself is on the ballot, as Trump continues to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the election.
1-Year Contract Extension Agreement
We are extremely pleased to announce PeaceHealth Administration has agreed to our proposed 1-year extension of our current contract without any changes. Our contract will be effective through October 2021. This is one less thing for all of us to worry about during this new age of COVID-19 and all that it has brought with it for us all.
