Providence – Getting to the Bottom Line

Update to members at PRMCE sent 1.27.26

Our Bargaining Team has successfully negotiated improvements to non-economic contract language, including: 

  • A process to remove old disciplines;
  • Addressing overtime assignments to ensure equitable access to overtime pay;
  • Non-discrimination language creating a transparent investigation and accountability process when members report harassment or discrimination;
  • Expanded role and duties of health and safety committee to address workplace violence in addition to OSHA compliance;
  • And more! 

Our focus now is on the bottom line – wages and compensation. We are striving to reach a deal and look forward to PRMCE arriving prepared to answer vital questions that will help us reach a fair agreement to put more money into every member’s paycheck. 

This is Our Union!
