Nurses seeking more effective voice in decision making.

A Different Approach Getting Started In the Fall of 2007: SEIU Union leadership approached hospital CEO and members of senior management. Wanted to focus on four areas 1.Trust 2.Respect 3.Communication 4.Voice in Nursing Hospital interested in enhancing the relationship with the union on a more strategic level.

The ADT primary focus is expediting the admission and discharge processes, completing medication reconciliation and assuring compliance with Core Measures

Political Action The Union and management 1.Attended conference sponsored by Partnership for Quality Care (national labor-management coalition on health care policy) in Washington, DC 2.Spoke with elected local leaders regarding funding and legislation. PROGRESS what did we accomplish?

Contract Negotiations These meeting were instrumental in signing a one year extension to our contract in 2009 with wage and benefit freezes when the economy was bad. And in 2010, although we held traditional contract negotiations, both parties were able to successfully negotiate a 3 year contract. PROGRESS what did we accomplish?

Assessment of Progress At the end of each year we did an assessment of whether the meetings were successful and should we continue to have them. Used polling technology to complete the Assessment Both parties were in agreement that they were worthwhile to continue.
