SIUH/NYSNA Negotiation Update – March 11, 2021

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

During the negotiations, SIUH and NYSNA each presented proposals on a range of non-economic topics. Of note, the hospital presented a significant counterproposal on pandemic preparedness and safety that we believe addresses the hospital and union’s shared interests in this important topic. The parties reached additional tentative agreements on non-economic items for a total of 12. We are confident that the constructive nature of the negotiations will continue paving the way for further collaboration and progress at our next session on March 16.
