Tentative agreements reached at 2 Brooklyn hospitals
NYSNA Negotiating Committees at Interfaith Medical Center and Wyckoff Heights Medical Center recently reached tentative agreements.
RNs at Interfaith Medical Center reached an agreement that is a win for the hospital’s nurses and patients. On top of economic gains, the hospital agreed to add 20 RN FTEs over the four-year term — nearly a 10% increase — and to an expedited process for enforcement of staffing language. Ratification took place December 2.
Wyckoff Negotiating Committee members (l-r): Tanisha Thompson, RN; Ujawala Moses, RN; Marilyn Flores, RN; NYSNA Rep Darlene Coccaro; and Naila Ming, RN.
At Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, a tentative agreement reached on November 20 will be put to a vote by the hospital’s 600 RNs in December. It includes strong economics plus an improved process for resolving staffing disputes.
