Cyber Attack 

Dear Members,                                                                                    August 7, 2023

Your Board wanted to reach out to you to give you some praise and some reassurance at the same time.

This has been an extremely stressful time for all of us at RWMC due to the well-publicized cyber attack on Prospect Medical Holdings, our parent company. You have rallied and will continue to provide outstanding care to our patients and when we are on the other side of this incident You will stand out as heroes.

What we don’t know about the exact cause of the cyberattack is a lot. Time will tell. What we do know is, we held RWMC together. We have continued to function under extreme pressure and allowed our hospital to remain open and viable for our community. You should be very proud of yourselves.

This has not been easy, and at the time of this message we do not know when we will see a resolution to the attack. Until then we want you to know that we were in touch with Lynn Leahey, CNO from the beginning and continue to monitor the situation. You should receive information shortly in a statement from CharterCare Leadership, but we wanted you to know that even though the timeclocks are not functioning properly and we are avoiding using API personally, CharterCare is not having an issue with payroll or the ability for you to receive your pay on time. Lynn Leahey, CNO contacted Lynn Redding, RN President of Local #5092 to assure the membership you will be paid as usual. We know this is a reasonable question on your part, and we are here to keep you informed of our communication with Leadership, and their response to important questions.

We all look forward to further communication from Leadership at RWMC, but until then, please know we are here for you with any questions you have. We will do our best to find answers for you.

Again, THANK YOU for your incredible teamwork and dedication to our patients!!

Your Executive Board

Membership Meeting 

March 22, 2023

Dear Union Member,            

We are thrilled to update you on some areas of progress and remind you our 2^nd Membership meeting will be held on Tuesday April 4. We have 3 meetings scheduled on that day to provide you with an opportunity to attend. The meetings are scheduled for 4pm, 5:30pm, and 8pm. The Membership meeting will be held at the UNAP Union Hall at 375 Branch Avenue, Providence, RI.

Progress is being made regarding the publishing of the Union contract for RWMC’s Local #5092. Our CEO Jeffrey Liebman signed the contract, as did I. With that accomplished we can now go to print and distribute to our Membership. When the contract is ready you will be notified.

Progress is also being made in the area of dues letters. We have a majority signed and turned in to payroll. We still have more to go and the first letter regarding the forms was mailed out and the response has been good. The 2^nd letter will be mailed after March 20^th as a reminder of the importance of dues and the purpose of the dues/fees we will be collecting. If you have not signed your form and returned it, please do so.

Your Executive Board looks forward to seeing you at our next Membership Meeting where we will discuss several topics including the cessation of the $5/hr COVID incentive paid to ICU, CCU, ED, and OR effective May 1. We will discuss our grievance policy and catch the membership up on current grievances. Our meeting will also include any questions you may have regarding our contract, and any new business will be addressed.

The meetings are a vital way for you to understand how your Union is working for you, and we look forward to seeing you,

Your Executive Board
