FRIDAY, August 1, 2025
Management admitted fault and agreed to retroactively compensate all qualifying Preceptors from October 2024, the day our current (CBA) Collective Bargaining Agreement was signed.
This means:
If you trained another employee after 10/21/24, you’re entitled to a bonus.
A full financial audit is underway by Avamere Corporate to determine which employees qualify.
We’re pushing for a timeline, your retro pay is on the way!
NOTE: Preceptors who trained before this date are not eligible due to contractual limits, but this public admission of wrongdoing lays the groundwork for stronger enforcement in the future.
ANOTHER WIN! DISCIPLINARY LETTERS REMOVED!
The public posting of Disciplinary Corrective Action letters in the Break Room and Nursing Assignment Binder is OVER.
Thanks to your voices and Union pressure:
All letters have been taken down.
Employees will now receive personal file folders privately contained in a file cabinet in the Break Room for any managerial correspondence, preserving privacy and dignity.
BULLETIN BOARD VANDALISM, NEVER AGAIN!!!
No more public exposure or humiliation.
After destroying our Union Bulletin Board, Management claimed ignorance of the grievances posted. But here’s the truth:
- They admitted they screwed up.
- They were warned by Sam Davila, Union CEO (Contract Enforcement Officer): NEVER touch Union property again.
- They now understand: If a member disagrees or is offended by posted content, they MUST contact the Union, not vandalize the display.
- They do NOT get VETO power over what we post.
Our bulletin board is ours, an essential communication tool to amplify our rights, inform/educate members and expose broken promises or wins.
CALL TO ACTION:
Don’t TELL, TEXT!
We are urging all members to report issues IMMEDIATELY (as they’re happening). Do not wait to find a Steward in person.
Grievance statutes of limitations are short and we can miss our window to file if you wait.
This is our NEW Union Text Report Line:
(419)TELL NOW or (419) 835-5669
Or email us at: speakupcna@gmail.com
If you’re seeing something wrong, don’t assume someone else is reporting it, speak up. This is your workplace, too.
UP NEXT: LMC STRATEGY MTG
The next Labor Management Committee Meeting (LMC) is being scheduled. After the Fonancial Audit, we’re looking at some where near the end of August.
