About Us
The Carson-Tahoe Healthcare Employees Association represents all regular, full- and part-time employees in the Carson-Tahoe Healthcare Employees Association Bargaining Unit, which includes the vast majority of employees who are compensated on an hourly basis. These employees are called the bargaining unit. The association is a UNION. We bargain for your salaries, benefits, and employee rights. The association was formed in the 1970s, and today is stronger than ever. The officers and board members are strictly volunteers and are elected by the membership. The term of office is two years, with elections being held annually in August. Four board members are elected in even years and five board members are elected in odd years. This allows continuity in our leadership team. Carson-Tahoe Healthcare Employees Association membership elects the Board members, and the Board elects officers for one-year terms. We generally start looking for nominations in June. The requirements are:
- You have been a member of the association for at least one year; and,
- You share the philosophy that all employees are equally important in making CTRH a quality healthcare organization.
