St. Joseph’s RNs fight implementation; win Board complaint

NYSNA nurses at St. Joseph’s Hospital fought back, and won, against the hospital’s imposition of an unjust contract in late January. The 130 nurses at the Elmira hospital filed Unfair Labor Practice charges and their unity prevailed during the lead up to a board decision. On May 29, the National Labor Relations Board ordered the hospital to reset the clock to the expired contract and make the nurses whole for any and all losses due to the implementation. The St. Joseph’s RNs are committed to pressing forward until they achieve the contract that nurses and patients deserve.
