-
We believe that unionization is not in the best interest of our employees.
-
We prefer to deal with people directly rather than through a third party.
-
We encourage employees and management to work together to solve problems and create a good working environment.
-
We will deal with our employees openly, honestly, fairly and without discrimination, treating each person with the dignity they deserve.
-
No business is free from day-to-day problems, but we believe we have the policies, practices and personnel to help resolve issues, without the intervention of outsiders.
-
Unions don't add value or increase the bottom line of a health care system. In fact, many times unions add to the cost of operating the facility.
-
The presence of a union could change relationships between managers, supervisors, employees and patients. A contract could force employees to go through a union steward instead of talking directly with management.
-
With a union, all current wages, benefits, and working conditions are subject to negotiations. Employees could end up with more, the same as they started with, or even wind up with less. There are no guarantees.
-
Wages and benefits are reviewed annually at Banner Health. We do not have to wait until the expiration of a contract to make improvements.
