WHY IS GUARANTEED TIME IMPORTANT?
Do you know what Article 8.3 of your Contract means?

You should, because your paycheck depends on it!

• It’s the legally binding Article that ensures you have the right to work what you were hired for, whether that be 3, 5 or 6, or 10 days per pay period.
• When you accepted a job at PMC they agreed there would be work for you.
• Now, if patient census is low they can offer you the day off and you can take it or not, IT’S YOUR CHOICE [Article 10.10].
• MANAGEMENT WANTS TO GET RID OF ARTICLE 8.3!!!
• They want the ability to cancel you when THEY want….AS MUCH AS THEY WANT!
• It won’t matter if you were canceled yesterday, they can cancel you again, and again tomorrow if they deem it necessary.
• It won’t matter if it leaves your floor short staffed because there is “low census”.
• It won’t matter about your seniority either… Supervisors will pick who stays home.
• Oh and those benefits that they want to charge you double for now, well if you are canceled enough times YOU won’t QUALIFY FOR THEM ANYMORE.
