Latest Updates

August 27 Update

Dear Nurses,

We resumed negotiations with the California Nurses Association (CNA) on August 27. During the session, the union provided us with a comprehensive counterproposal on economics. Although we had hoped to see more movement in the union’s economic counterproposal, we appreciate the productive discussions and look forward to continuing our momentum at our next session. In addition, the teams were able to reach another tentative agreement (Article 22 – Reduction in Force).

Contract Extension and Specialty Pay Pilot Program

The parties agreed to extend the current contract until September 30, 2026. In addition, as we’ve shared, we fully recognize the sunsetting of the specialty pay pilot program represents an impact for some of our nurses. We are committed to working with the union to help address this issue, and we’ve agreed to extend the pilot program until September 30 while the parties continue our important discussions.

Our next sessions are scheduled for September 10 and September 21, and we remain committed to reaching an agreement which we are all proud of.

Thank you for the dedication, professionalism and care you provide to our patients every day. We greatly appreciate you.

With appreciation,

Colleen Wilcoxen, RN, MSN
Chief Nursing Officer
USC Arcadia Hospital

Robert “Robbie” Shappley
