Nursing Home Leaders' Action Brings Us Closer to the Finish Line

WE DID IT!
After many months of tough negotiations, your SEIU Healthcare Florida bargaining committee and Sea Crest reached a tentative agreement for a new union contract. We endured a long fight, and we believe the agreement we reached with Sea Crest contains significant improvements, despite negotiating during the worst economic situation we’ve ever seen.  In fact, Sea Crest and many other healthcare employers have declared wage freezes for 2010.

However, because we fought hard and we stayed united, our tentative agreement contains:
•    Guaranteed wage increases every year of the contract
•    NO reductions or takeaways in benefits

Your union bargaining committee unanimously supports this agreement. We will be holding a ratification vote within the next week.  More details about the agreement will be available at the meeting.  

We encourage EVERYONE covered by the agreement to attend the meeting.  At the end of the meeting, only union members will vote whether to approve the agreement or not.
