Do you want to improve working conditions for residents/fellows in WA?

The WA legislature is voting on HR1764 which would allow interest arbitration in collective bargaining.

This would go a long way towards correcting the power imbalance between administration & residents.

Under the current system of negotiation, residents can *request* certain changes: safe working conditions, sufficient PPE, hazard/overtime pay, etc.

Administrators (who are often non-clinical) just say NOPE.

Because residents can’t/won’t strike they don’t have much leverage.

When we formed the UWHA/@RFPU_NW resident union we spent YEARS fighting with administrators over these issues.

Ultimately we got lucky. Pressure from the city council & media attention helped us break the logjam.

There ought to be a better way.
