WE HAVE BIG WINS ON RETENTION BONUSES, BUT MORE WORK REMAINS  \nWe had big wins on staffing in our last contract, including the largest wage increases in a decade. Unfortunately, we’re still suffering from the same staffing crisis that has engulfed the entire healthcare industry. That’s why hundreds of us signed a petition demanding retention bonuses as an added measure to ensure we have enough staff to  \ncare for our patients.  \n“We took action with our petition around staffing  \nand bonuses  \nand have seen  \nresults. Although we are extremely appreciative for the  \nretention bonuses we have, we know that some of our valuable staff are not being included. Those employees are a valuable part of our team. Without them, the safety of our patients would be in jeopardy.”  \nTami O’Marro, RN, Valley Hospital  \nManagement responded by giving either a retention bonus or an appreciation bonus to all members. These bonuses are for varying amounts. However, we all work as a team and deserve respect for our work. If you feel that your job class deserves the retention bonus, based on workload and / or ability to recruit and retain staff, please contact your delegate or an organizer.  \n“Many of us are so thankful to get some recognition from management in the form of the bonuses. However there continues to be a lot of frustration and feeling ofunappreciation by many, due to the lack of recognition of some smaller job classes in the retention bonus who continue to  \nalso struggle in retention, and the raise being  \ngiven to the nonunion staff over everyone. Weare all and have all been fighting this nightmare of the pandemic and staffing crisis, and all deserve to be recognized, appreciated, and paid equally.”-  \nCharity Turpen, Respiratory Therapist, Valley Hospital  \n“Surg techs were left off of the list for retention bonuses. We’ve had a hard time recruiting and keeping staff since the pandemic started. Our positive actions a few days ago with the march brought attention to our situation in the OR and now we are getting the bonus.
