SIUH/NYSNA Negotiation Update – May 16, 2021

This past Friday, Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) and the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) met virtually for our 14th negotiation session.

Once again, staffing was the focus of the day. SIUH and NYSNA further discussed and clarified our positions on this important issue. Consistent with our previous session, we also had a few staff nurses join us to provide additional feedback and first-hand insights, which were appreciated.

We eagerly await NYSNA’s response to the comprehensive economic proposal that we presented last week. Thankfully, we shouldn’t have to wait much longer as our next session is this Tuesday and the hospital has expressed to the union our desire to begin negotiating those details so that we can finalize your new contract sooner rather than later.
