Planned Parenthood Negotiations Updates 2024
September 23, 2024
Today, we met with Planned Parenthood for another day of bargaining. We are pleased with the company’s movement on issues such as union security and grievance procedures. However, we still have not received a response on our most important issues—staffing, wages, benefits, and premiums. We are disappointed that the company is taking so long to address these issues, especially when our next meeting is almost a month away. We hope that it is not the company’s intent to drag negotiations into the next year.
We will meet again with the company on October 21, November 7, November 22, December 5, and December 20, 2024, and expect to make more progress than we have in these last three sessions.
As we navigate this process, let’s show Planned Parenthood that we are united and strong. Please take a selfie in your Planned Parenthood union shirt, upload it to social media, and tag @plannedparenthhoodosbc to let the company know that we are standing together for the contract we deserve. Also, please continue to wear your button every day during our bargaining sessions to show Planned Parenthood that we are serious about a fair contract. Let Alex, Amy, Elaine or Eunice know if you don’t have a button and we’ll get you one.
This Wednesday, September 25, we’re holding a webinar at 7PM so you can get an update on bargaining. Join the call with this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84592011554?pwd=Ay9DQlkZTOMXfBMsfIos1nmZbAzJ6D.1
Stay tuned for more actions you can take to demonstrate our strength and unity. Make sure you’re following us on social media to keep up with everything happening with our fight for a first contract:

This week, we met with Planned Parenthood for a second round of bargaining. While we have reached a few tentative agreements on issues such as progressive discipline and severance pay, the company is delaying bargaining on our most important issues like safety, staffing, wages, benefits, and premiums. We will meet again with the company on September 23, October 21, November 7, and November 22, 2024 and we’re expecting to add more dates as we go.
While we go through this process, we must stay united and strong. Wear your button every day we have a bargaining session to show Planned Parenthood that we’re standing together to ensure we get the contract we deserve. Let your bargaining committee (Alex, Amy or Elaine) know if you don’t have a button and we’ll get you one.
We’re also holding a webinar on Wednesday, September 25 at 7PM so you can get an update on bargaining. Join the call with this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/84592011554?pwd=Ay9DQlkZTOMXfBMsfIos1nmZbAzJ6D.1

August 21, 2024
After two years of fighting to have our voice heard we finally had our first bargaining session with Planned Parenthood today! We began the session by presenting all of our proposals, including fair wages that reflect our vital healthcare role, staffing levels, benefits, and policies and procedures to keep us and our patients safe.
There is still a lot of work to be done and this process takes time, and we understand that not all proposals we came with today will be agreed upon, but we’re optimistic Planned Parenthood is open to negotiating with us to get a contract that we deserve.
We will meet again with the company on September 13 and 23 and October 21, 2014, for our second round of bargaining. Between now and then, Planned Parenthood will consider the proposals we made and we have asked them to return to us with a thoughtful response.
Stay tuned for actions you can take to ensure we get the contract we deserve and follow us on social media to keep up with everything happening with our fight for a first contract:
