CHECK YOUR PAYCHECKS
2024-10-24 05:58:57Many at Swedish Medical Center have noticed they have been over charged in dues for October. Per SEIU 1199NW (per presentation to Swedish Members) the dues cap was to increase in October to $115/month, 7/1/25 increase to $140/month, 7/1/26 increase to $165, and 7/1/27 to no cap at 1.8% of base pay. My personal dues fee for Oct is $147.28 which is well over the $115 cap. If you have experienced an increase over $115/month please contact me!

Jane Hopkins response to the revote
2024-10-01 01:56:54The union investigated the claims made in the statement you presented at the Union’s July Executive Board meeting. You had alleged that multiple bylaws had been violated prior to and throughout the internal election to amend the union’s bylaws. Members of the Executive Board investigated these claims and the full board discussed the issues raised in our September Board meeting. We found that there was no violation of the Union’s bylaws in the conduct of the Union’s vote. I understand that at this moment you may not like the results of the vote, but myself and our Executive Board are confident this is an important step forward that will make our union stronger. And please know that your participation in our Union is valued: I invite you to join us as we fight for collective power and strength in all our Washington and Montana chapters. When we stand united, we grow stronger. Jane Hopkins RN, President

REVOTE Update
2024-08-14 23:45:01We were granted a whole 15 minutes to present our petition and presentation at the the July 16th Eboard meeting. The presentation went relatively well.....some very receptive, others rolling their eyes but an applaud at the end. We had a total of 3799 signatures, while mostly Swedish employees, we also have signatures from 9 additional health institutions. Jane gave a vague "promise" to give us an answer "in a couple months." The next eboard meeting is Sept 12th (no meeting in August.) An email was sent from myself to the Excecutive panel (Jane, Yolanda, Casey and Robyn) repectfully asking for an answer to our revote demand by end of day Sept 12th. I received an email from Jane (rather her assistant) confirming this will be a topic covered in the 9/12 meeting. Per "inside" info they are going through petition signatures to "vet" them and theyndo intend to discuss in the next eboard meeting.
If you would like a copy of our presentation, I can send via email.
