BUTTONING UP FOR BARGAINING
“RECRUIT RETAIN RESPECT” buttons to be worn by Doctors Council Members at work
As we head into the start of bargaining, Doctors Council members are asked to wear “RECRUIT RETAIN RESPECT” buttons every shift at work throughout the bargaining process. This is the theme of our bargaining and will show unity in our message.
Bargaining is open to all members and you are encouraged to stop by on your non-work time and stay for as long or as little as you can. The more doctors that attend shows strength in unity.
Bargaining is a process that will most likely take many bargaining sessions over many months. By staying united we can win our next contract. By being informed and involved we can help advocate for our goals.
We have formed our Affiliate Bargaining Committee and you can click here to see which of your colleagues is on the Bargaining Committee.
We have also formed our NYC H+H and Mayoral Agencies Bargaining Committee and you can click here to see which of your colleagues is on the Bargaining Committee.
Our Bargaining Committee is meeting in September to start reaching consensus on what we will propose as well as our methodology and approach on certain proposals such as compensation/ salary increases.
We are also creating our Contract Action Team, and these members will help spread the word about what is going on in bargaining and how members can help by taking action such as coming to meetings, wearing buttons, signing petitions and more.
The most effective and important communication is member to member- doctor to doctor so please talk to your colleagues and keep everyone informed.
The inability to adequately recruit and retain doctors impacts a number of areas such as quality patient care, patient experience/ satisfaction, the timely delivery of patient care services, doctor burnout, doctor morale and work load. Other negative impacts includes making appointments to see a doctor in a timely manner, losing the patients we have and the inability to get new patients.
Our proposals will aim to address recruitment and retention.
Our bargaining campaign theme is “Recruit Retain Respect.” With your involvement, issues that matter to doctors will be raised and our new contract achieved.
