Negotiation Update – September 6, 2018

Today we began negotiations for a successor collective bargaining agreement with the New York Professional Nurses Union (NYPNU) for Lenox Hill Hospital, MEETH and Lenox Health Greenwich Village (hospitals). Every three years the parties meet and through productive dialogue, collaboration and good faith bargaining, we are able to reach agreement on a successor contract.

NYPNU provided us with its initial 52 proposals and we anticipate receiving the remainder of its proposals in upcoming negotiation sessions. We spent the day having amicable discussions regarding these proposals and look forward to our next session on September 12. We expect at that time to be able to provide the union with the hospitals’ proposals.

We encourage you to stay informed by:

• Speaking with your manager,
• Watching for continuing Negotiation Update emails,
