Fight for fairness on LI continues

NYSNA nurses are keeping the heat on Catholic Health Services of Long Island (CHS) to improve staffing at Smithtown’s St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center and St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson.

Television ads featuring NYSNA RNs Tammy Miller, of St. Catherine of Siena, and Tracy Kosciuk, of St. Charles, are running on local cable channels, a mobile billboard can be seen driving through the hospitals’ service areas, and the community is showing support with lawn signs and calls to the CEOs for fair contracts and safe staffing.

NYSNA nurses at CHS’s St. Joseph Hospital settled their contract in last June and are standing beside and behind their sister CHS nurses as they continue to fight to improve the quality of care at St. Catherine and St. Charles.
