Before negotiations begin, there’s a lot of work that happens behind the scenes.

Earlier this month, members of our Providence Registered Nurses bargaining unit gathered in Anchorage for bargaining training designed to help prepare them for upcoming contract negotiations. Members sharpened their skills in negotiation strategy, research, proposal development, communication, member engagement, and team building.

That preparation matters. The stronger and more informed our bargaining unit is going into negotiations, the stronger we can be at the table for AaNA nurses and their patients.

We love seeing our local bargaining units supported by their communities! 💙

A few weeks back, members of our Ketchikan Registered Nurses bargaining team attended the Ketchikan Blueberry Arts Festival. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, started a conversation, and showed your support.

That kind of community support means so much to our nurses, especially in smaller communities like Ketchikan. We’re grateful to everyone who helped our bargaining team feel seen, heard, and supported.
