Why is SEIU's contract a secret from workers at Daughters of Charity?
Thursday, January 14, 2010 at 2:05PM SEIU told Daughters of Charity workers we were voting for full retroactive pay, no cuts in healthcare, full parity in benefits, and no management rights when we ratified our contract. So why won’t they give us a copy of our contract?

SEIU-UHW agreed to:
- New management rights to layoff and fire up to 10 employees with just 30 days notice, and everyone else with 60 days.
- Wage freeze instead of full retro pay: SEIU-UHW told us we’d get huge retro payments, but instead we got a much smaller bonus check and a wage freeze for the first year.
- Family cut from health insurance: No new Legally Domiciled Adults can be added and current ones will be cut unless they are tax dependents or under 65.
- Higher healthcare costs: Seton workers can expect premium increases every year after being moved from a low flat fee to a cost sharing percentage. O’Connor and St. Louise workers will have higher cost sharing premiums every year depending how much they earn. Cost sharing percentages are so high at St. Francis that many employees may never be able to afford the PPO plan. SEIU-UHW agreed to even higher costs for new employees, which would leave us divided in the next round of bargaining.
- New management rights to change our schedules, force flexing, and make Per Diem employees work full-time without reclassifying them as full-time positions.
