After our federal mediation session on 12/6, your bargaining team is excited to announce that we have reached a tentative agreement with SHC management at the bargaining table.
What is a tentative agreement?
A tentative agreement (TA) is a proposed collective bargaining agreement that has not yet been ratified (approved) by a union vote. Our union will hold a ratification vote, and if a majority vote “yes”, then this tentative agreement will become our official collective bargaining agreement. To vote on ratification, you must be a member! Join here and read the FAQs here.
What’s in the tentative agreement?
- A 21% increase in compensation (!!!) over the three years of the contract. This includes:
- Year 1 – 5% raise, $2800 increase to housing stipend ($7,200 -> $10,000), $2,000 meal stipend
- Year 2 – 5% raise
- Year 3 – 3% raise, $2000 increase to housing stipend ($10,000 -> $12,000)
- Ratification bonus + retroactive pay of ~$3,000 total (one-time check in early 2024)
- Chief residents: additional $200/month
- Fully-funded rideshare services for fatigue management
- Maintenance of essential departmental benefits (current residents are grandfathered in)
- Fertility benefits: increase from $10,000 to $20,000 lifetime benefits
- Parental leave: increase from 5 days paid leave to 6 weeks paid leave (with PFL) for non-pregnant parent
- $50,000 annual stipend for a resident wellness committee
- Grievance and arbitration process
- and more
- (Our healthcare benefits are preserved!)
