Extendicare North Auburn
SEIU Healthcare 775NW caregivers and Extendicare have approved our union contract, with raises and a labor-management committee to help solve facility issues and help increase quality care for our residents.
Some of the highlights include:
Better Wages!
We won raises of $0.25/hour effective mid-February 2008. This raise is in addition to raises Extendicare gave to workers in July 2007. We will be going back to the table in July 2008 to bargain another wage increase as well!
Guaranteed Minimum Hiring Rates
We set minimum hiring rates for all job classifications in the bargaining unit:
Restorative Aide $10.25
NAC $10.00
Cook $10.50
Activities Assistant $8.75
NAR $9.00
Dietary Assistant $8.07
These minimum rates will help improve the recruitment of workers for open positions.
Wage Reopener Negotiations!
Our contract guarantees that every year we go back to the table to negotiate wage increases based on new Medicaid funding we win from the Legislature.
