THE
MERCY GENERAL VOTE TO RATIFY THE CONTRACT! |
| |
The
membership has to ratify the contract for it to be official. We did
this resoundingly with a vote by all affected CHW hospitals beginning
the week of April 15, 2002, and ending April 23 with Mercy Folsom.
Voting day at Mercy General was April 19th, in a meeting room adjacent
to the hospital cafeteria. Conference rooms and bulletin boards will
be available for union use as a result of our contract! |
