We have reached tentative agreement on foundational workplace rights, but we will have to show our unity to win life changing pay increases of at least 8 percent, employer paid family healthcare, and significantly improved retirement benefits like our bargaining team has proposed. At our last negotiating session, we reached tentative agreement on the following items:

  • Technology: Job security protections to ensure we have a voice in the implementation of any new technologies that impact our work
  • Respect: Language clarifying expectations for courtesy to reinforce our respect while on the job 
  • Safety: Clearly defined guidelines across departments to establish consistent training for our response teams
  • Worker Rights: Legal protections to ensure we have the voice to negotiate future changes that may resulting from federal or state laws
  • Parking: Protecting our access to safe and convenient parking for all Sharp workers

Our contract at Sharp Healthcare is beginning to take shape, but the real fight over staffing and pay is ahead. 

“We’re starting to see what our first contract will look like with basic rights and protections for all of us,” said Elena Johnston from Sharp Grossmont. “But the real fight over fair pay and safe staffing is ahead and this is a power struggle with management, not a debate. We have to show our unity outside of negotiations to win the life-changing pay increases, employer-paid family healthcare, and significantly improved retirement benefits we deserve.”

Sign the open letter so we can have the power in bargaining to win real investments to end the care crisis at Sharp Healthcare with life changing pay increases, employer paid family healthcare, and significantly improved retirement benefits.
