PICKET!

July 6, 2005

6:30 am to 8:00 am

University Hospital

2211 Lomas NE

On June 28, 2005 University Hospital Management presented the Union with their “final offer” in an attempt to declare impasse and force the Union to vote on a less than satisfactory contract. Union representatives have been successful in forcing management back to the negotiating table by questioning the lack of clarity, details and information missing from the Hospital’s proposal. Management’s attempt at declaring impasse was foiled. Negotiations will resume on July 6, 2005. We believe management will make another attempt to declare impasse on that day.

Management’s attempt at tricking workers into signing a “loyalty oath” has angered the workers. The Union has filed a grievance on the issue and is demanding it be removed from performance evaluations.

District 1199 NM has been conducting a vote of no confidence regarding the Hospital CEO Steve McKernan. The results of the vote will be announced at 8:15 am on July 6^th.
