Bay Area Hospital Updates ( 6 Articles )

The current Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) is set to expire on December 31, 2008. The Union and the Hospital have agreed to do Interest Based Bargaining (IBB) to reach a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. As part of the Interest Based Bargaining (IBB) process we have agreed to do joint communications that are drafted at the end of each set of bargaining dates.

You will be able to track the progress of the bargaining and stay informed on the issues confronting us in reaching a new agreement. IBB process is a less confrontational way of bargaining where both sides work together by keeping the others interests in mind as they suggest ideas to resolve the others interest.
