myUHW - Daughters of Charity

Finally, our time has come once and for all to put the division of the past behind us and protect our pay, benefits, and job security by reaffirming SEIU-UHW as our union.

The National Labor Relations Board will soon be scheduling an election - hopefully in the next two months - so we can vote to keep our union, make sure our contract is secure, and maintain our strong, united voice at St Louise Hospital.

The election is happening because another organization, called NUHW, filed a petition last year to "decertify" our union, putting our future in danger. We are asking that the election be scheduled as soon as possible so we can put the matter to rest by voting to keep SEIU-UHW.

Unity and strength deliver pay raises, retro, healthcare protection

The hard work and unity of SEIU-UHW members at all five Daughters of Charity Hospitals paid off as they voted by a 95% margin to approve a new contract that improves their wages and benefits, delivers full retro pay, and maintains high standards for patient care.

Today, our SEIU-UHW bargaining team reached a settlement on a great new contract.

During our negotiations, Daughters of Charity workers focused on a list of priorities for improvements in our next contract. Today, we can proudly report that our SEIU-UHW Bargaining Team has delivered on those goals.

Key Facility Meetings This Week

At this past Thursday's bargaining, our SEIU-UHW bargaining team delivered our majority petition to management highlighting our priorities. This helped us make significant progress. Here are the highlights:

• Agreement on 403b match for Seton
• Agreement on vision and dental for St. Francis
• Agreement not to extend management rights

Same Employer, Same Quality Care...

Why not the same benefits for all DOC employees?

Every Daughters of Charity patient receives the same high quality of care--no matter which hospital facility they visit. So why does Management treat us differently depending on the facility where we work? It makes no sense.
