On December 16, the County Commission voted 12-0 in favor of approving the new contracts for RNs and Professionals.
Members turned out in record number on December 8th and 9th to overwhelmingly approve our new three-year, groundbreaking contract. Nurses ratified their contract with a 96% yes vote, while Professionals ratified their contract with 97% yes vote. In these hard economic times we fought off all contract take-aways and won on safe staffing by standing united and strong.
