REDDING - Union Staff and SRMC employee representatives are meeting this morning (12-17-09) to continue negotiations on the LVN/Tech Contract. Employees have been working without a contract since November 1, 2008 when Prime took over. The last contact vote was in September 2009 and was unanimously rejected. Chief Negotiator and UPEC Senior Labor Representative Steve Allen submitted a counter proposal this afternoon to Prime Healthcare management. As of December 28, 2009, PRIME has not returned the phone calls of the Union. Details will be provided to the bargaining unit membership at the next member meeting (to be announced).
