Local 5621 Negotiations Update, June 20, 2025
We are pleased to announce that we have reached a memorandum of agreement with Inspira as of Friday, June 20th, that contains further improvements to our union contract. We met again with Inspira on June 12th, June 18th, and June 20th.
During June negotiations, we were able to make major improvements to Emergency Department staffing via a new side letter. This letter contains groundbreaking new provisions for safe staffing in Emergency Departments. The side letter will be attached to the new contract and included in the book as a fully-enforceable provision. We also made an improvement to the Article 27 reassignment flow on behalf of the Maternal-Child Health unit, and we corrected an issue in the Article 71 cancellation order. Observation units have also been added to Article 25 Hospital Staffing under the Acute Care ratio.
The new agreement is attached and linked below. We are also providing confirmation of what the negotiated raises will be.
Ratification will be held on Tuesday, June 24th at Inspira Mullica Hill, in Classrooms 3 and 4 from 7am to 8pm. While we will accept drop-in voters during this time frame, we will also hold General Membership meetings for anyone who wants additional information at the following times: 8a, 12p, 5p, and 8p.
Raises will be fully retroactive to May 25th, 2025. We expect to see this money arrive in our paychecks by mid-July. We are committed to working to ensure swift retroactive pay following the ratification of the agreement.
We are excited to offer all of you a groundbreaking new contract that we are more than proud of. See you all on Tuesday.
