Collective Bargaining
Victory! Congratulations!!!! On June 1, 2006, MONA Members at the Department of Mental Health ratification vote count resulted in 96.7% YES. The agreement between the Missouri Nurses Association and the Missouri Department of Mental Health has been ratified.
We recognize the hard work of the 2004 and 2006 Negotiating Committee; Russell Reed, Jack Little, Cherie DiLuvio-Clark, Rachel Nicoll, Brenda Reid and Artis Porter. Thank you!
Collective bargaining in today’s health care environment is about more than wages and benefits. It is about patient advocacy, protecting nursing practice, safe staffing levels and ensuring a safe and healthy work environment for registered nurses and health care professionals.
Through legally protected collective action and contract language, members have the power to secure benefits and working conditions which foster professional growth and promote quality patient care.
In today’s health care environment, collective bargaining is proving to be one of the most effective ways to:
- Protect patients from inadequate and unsafe care.
- Ensure that nurses have fair pay, good benefits, and safe/satisfactory working conditions.
- Establish effective channels of communication with those who make decisions that impact nursing practice.
- Advance nurses’ professional growth and development.
With an MONA contract and grievance procedure to back you up:
- You participate in decision making
- You protect your economic security
- You improve the quality of patient care
- You ensure improved health and safety protections
- You gain control over your professional practice
- You have the power
- You take the lead

Collective Bargaining...It Makes Good Sense for Nursing!
