HealthRIGHT 360: We have a tentative agreement!
We’ve secured a strong 3-year tentative agreement with HR360
with across-the-board wage increases, improvements in dependent
and family medical benefits, & more.
Over the last week, we’ve had individual worksite meetings and a
large statewide meeting to discuss and celebrate the gains we’ve
made in this tentative agreement. Strong agreements like
these are proof of what we can accomplish when we exercise our
union power.
