Can I get a Woo Hoo!?!?

Just a quick entry to say how insanely ecstatic I am that MNA and the hospitals have reached a tentative agreement to settle our contract, so no strike!!! The strike was supposed to start this upcoming Tuesday, and I was dreading it. I did not like the contract the hospital was offering, so I (along with most of my coworkers) was ready to walk and I couldn’t believe the hospital was just going to let us!

I was at work when we received word the strike had been averted! It was such an amazing moment. No one could believe it was actually true and we were doing happy dances, high fiving, and hugging each other! It still didn’t seem real, even when we saw it on the news. Apparently there were some secret negotiations going on that no one knew about.

It has been a couple days since the announcement and I am still giddy! We all still have to vote on Tuesday whether or not to approve the contract. But hopefully, people will realize this is the best we’re going to get right now and to just approve it so we can all get on with our lives!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday weekend! We’re in the middle of it, so I’m sure I will post an update later on to tell about all our activities.
