Sutter Psychiatry Center bargaining survey

What do you want to see in our new union contract?

In our upcoming contract negotiations with Sutter Psychiatry Center, it will be the involvement of all members that will determine our victory. We deserve strong wages and benefits, and safe working conditions. The first step is to identify our collective priorities. Next, we elect our bargaining committee of members from all over the facility, vote on our bargaining platform and then work to achieve the contract we deserve. Please take a few minutes to fill out this bargaining survey. If your concerns are not directly referenced in this survey, please be sure to write those concerns in.
