Overworked, Essential, and Underpaid
We started bargaining at Prestige, EmpRes, Dakavia, and Avalon 5 weeks ago. Our main priorities at the table are Higher Pay, Improved Staffing, and Health Care. Our union team has proposed a statewide wage scale that boosts workers up to meet the Avamere wage scale for ALL job classes, includes real wage steps with annual COLAs, including 50 cents this year on top of the new wage scales, and establishes a fair experience review process to appropriately place workers on the scale. Management has not yet responded. Show management you support our bargaining team’s proposal by continuing to act together!
Last week nursing home workers all around the state stickered up to show support for our bargaining team, sending a message that we are Raising Standards Together.
