The proposed contract covers about 660 nurses, represented by National Nurses Organizing Committee/National Nurses United, through 2018.
Under the proposed contract, nurses would receive a 2.5 percent wage increase each year on June 15 through 2018, according to the report, which cites a union document circulated to employees. The report states that the agreement also ensures nurses’ wages remain at the appropriate step on the wage grid. Additionally, it addresses issues such as staffing levels, workplace violence and education.
Voting on the proposed contract begins Wednesday and is expected to end Saturday, according to the union.
