Inspira RNs United for Quality Care: Negotiations Update, April 11
We had our second day of bargaining with the hospital yesterday. Inspira gave us 11 proposals and counter-proposals for non-nursing and non-economic articles of our contract. We were also able to identify and agree on articles of the contract neither party is going to be proposing changes to going forward.
Most of the nursing directors were at a conference and not in attendance at yesterday’s session. Our next date for negotiations is April 17th and we expect to receive more proposals and responses at that time from Inspira, particularly concerning staffing.
The next session will be held at the Wingate Hotel in Vineland. Members are encouraged to attend. Please arrive by 9:30 am if you plan to be there.
