Ratified Contracts in 2021 For decades, nurses have been on the frontlines caring for our communities in the midst of some of the nation’s worst healthcare challenges. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses were working overtime to ensure that patients recovered well. But during the global pandemic, the role of nurses and healthcare workers cannot be overstated. Today, there is a greater appreciation for the fact that our healthcare system does not work for nurses and other caregivers. Nurses account for more than half of the world’s healthcare workers and
should be treated with dignity and respect. In addition to being present at the bedside, NYSNA members played a pivotal role in contract negotiations. Because of their leadership, several facilities ratified new contracts. See below for a list of facilities and bargaining units that reached new agreements in 2021. These negotiations were more than routine, perfunctory processes; they paved the way for nurses and healthcare professionals to provide the level of care that they would want offered to neighbors, friends and family.
After reading, be sure to congratulate your union family in these bargaining units. Alice Hyde Medical Center A.O.
