The Alaska Nurses Association (AaNA) Labor Program has developed a series of training opportunities for the newly-elected RN leaders. Ketchikan General Hospital bargaining unit leaders took part in this training last week. Upcoming training offerings will include grievance handling, negotiating team training and “running” your local union. Individual training development will also be offered for local leaders as needed. AaNA-Labor Program is also exploring a “visioning” session to discuss strategic planning for our Program within the Alaska Nurses Association. [Read More... ]

The Providence Registered Nurses (PRN) bargaining unit contract is due to expire April 30th, 2012. The PRN negotiating is made up of leaders from the bargaining unit. PRN is a "local" of the Alaska Nurses Association--Labor Program. Providence Registered Nurses (PRN) organized back in 1994. After many years of controversy over what nurses would be afforded the right to be covered by the collective bargaining agreement and a decision by the 9th circuit court of appeals, the votes were counted. In 1998 negotiations for the first contract began. After many months of negotiations, help from a Federal Mediator and our union brothers and sisters locally, statewide and nationally, the first contract was ratified in May of 1999.
