Under the Union\u2019s proposal, all premiums would increase by $1 for nurses who work at UWMC-Montlake for 5 years, 10 years, and 20 years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Employer Counter Proposals<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The Employer rejected the Union\u2019s proposal for new break relief nurse language and sliding scale premiums and instead proposed the following new language around mitigating the impacts of the transition to ATR:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In addition to previously agreed-upon flexibility for RNs who work a 0.975 FTE, inpatient RNs who work a 1.0FTE and work a majority of 12-hour shifts as of the date of an agreement between the parties would be permitted to schedule themselves up to forty-four (44) hours in a calendar week twice per four-week schedule period, and eight (8) hours of that time would be paid at overtime.<\/li>\n<li>Prior to the implementation of ATR on February 16, 2026, all units would be required to schedule an internal meeting to discuss the transition to the new pay model, which would solicit RN input on the unit\u2019s scheduling process. After the initial meeting, the units would then have the option to establish a continuing unit-based scheduling committee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pattern Schedules<\/strong> \u2013 As part of the scheduling committee, units would have the opportunity to discuss potential creation and use of pattern schedules, which would require Employer approval. Any approved pattern schedules would then be bid by unit seniority, and the Employer would reserve the right to end pattern schedules at any time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><strong>Next Steps <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>The next UW and WSNA-ML mediation session is scheduled for Tuesday, October 14, 2025 and will be held in-person at the UDSB Gateway building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UW and WSNA Montlake convened for the first of two scheduled mediation sessions for the renewal of the UW-WSNA ML CBA.
