We received a proposal from Providence Swedish that provides Swedish Service and Swedish-Edmonds Pro/Tech/Service workers year-for-year credit for past experience. While this will go a long way toward recruiting experienced workers, retaining current workers will require a timeline to bring people up to where they need to be on the scale.
It is disappointing that this is the only proposal that management has brought the bargaining team so far. We are calling on management to bring a serious proposal on Tuesday. We will be doing a sticker up on Monday to tell management to Be The Leader on retention and recruitment.
