UMass RNs ratify contract
Mirroring a settlement reached by registered nurses at the University Campus, UMass/Memorial Health Care nurses ratified a new, three-year contract with a vote of 99 percent in favor of the agreement.
The settlement addresses the needs of nurses working within the Memorial Hospital Campus, Hahnemann Campus, and the Home Health and Hospice Campus.
The starting hourly wage step at the end of the contract will be $27.23, up from $24.33 with a top wage step of $55.02, up from $50.86. In the beginning of the last year of the agreement, the home health and hospice nurses will be transitioned onto the same scale as the hospital nurses, assuring one scale for the RN's in the bargaining unit regardless of what particular area of specialty they are working in.
The plan also includes provisions for a health insurance premium with an 80-20 cost share for both full-time and part-time nurses.
