On May 31st we reached a Tentative Agreement with Cooper. This means we will decide next Tuesday and Wednesday if we accept the agreement. If we vote yes, we will have a new union contract in place.
HMH came to the table today with their “final package” on staffing and wages. Which does not include a fair wage or safe staffing ratios for all job titles. We will be giving notice on Monday for an upcoming membership
We are pleased to reinforce that HRH is offering an additional 40 parking spots at the old channel 9 building.
Just hours before the contract expiration, HPAE Local 5118 has reached a tentative agreement with Cooper University Health Care.
The day began with management rejecting almost all of our remaining proposals. After listening to that, we prioritized our proposals and then provided management with a complete package in the hopes of getting a fair contract.
Today (5/30) we reached three tentative agreements...
Despite years of studies showing ratios do improve patient care and retain workers, HMH continues to not move.
We delivered our petition demanding better pay, benefits, and staffing. Management was visibly surprised to see so many people standing together demanding better!
During the morning session the hospital gave us the tentative agreements we discussed at our last session. We reviewed across the table which of our articles are still open and that we will give them a package proposal after lunch.
