The new three-year contract, reached Oct. 19, includes wage increases and improvements on staffing and job security, union officials said. PASNAP members overwhelmingly voted to ratify the new agreement Oct. 25.
The contract, according to PASNAP, includes provisions to add full-time jobs, with benefits, in place of casual and non-benefited jobs. It also includes wage increases of 6.75 percent over three years, with a majority of employees seeing 10 percent or more between annual increases and wage steps built into the contract, union officials said.
The new contracts take effect retroactively from Oct. 1, 2016, through Sept. 30, 2019, according to hospital officials.
