The new contract features a third-party dispute resolution that allows nurses who are considered for termination to utilize a neutral mediator or arbitrator in settling differences if a settlement cannot be reached through any other stage of resolution with hospital management.
In addition to including third-party dispute resolution for termination cases, the new contract allows nurses to have more input on changes to their workplace. It also includes a fair and objective process for the hiring of nurses from within the bargaining unit, a workplace wellness plan and a more focused mission for the Labor-Management Committee, which addresses care delivery systems, quality of care, patient safety and working conditions.
