Local 5105 Union Nurse Retention Survey

As many of you know, we are facing a severe nationwide nursing shortage that has prompted our employer to propose hiring bonuses in specialty areas: the ED, Cath Lab and OR. Our position is that our members deserve recognition because we have worked on the frontlines and are still here!! Our employer cannot hire in new members at a higher rate then is offered to our present members! We have put in a Demand to Bargain over Virtua’s proposed hiring bonuses.

We want to remind you that we have a wage reopener coming up January 2022 for our May 2023 raises. (Refer to article 6.6# in present contract). What are your thoughts on what it will take to KEEP YOU AT VIRTUA and what are fair wages?

Please take our brief survey!!!  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5105retention

Thank you,
Local Executive Board of Local 5105
