SIUH/NYSNA Negotiation Update – March 3, 2021

Yesterday, Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) and the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) met virtually for our fifth negotiation session.

Both SIUH and NYSNA spent much of the day apart preparing and reviewing proposals, with limited time spent at the bargaining table. Specifically, the hospital focused on reviewing NYSNA’s proposal on pandemic preparation, while NYSNA put the finishing touches on its staffing proposal. Our objective remains to bring these negotiations to a timely conclusion, and we look forward to making further progress – and hopefully reaching more tentative agreements – at our next session on March 10.
