SIUH/NYSNA Negotiation Update – May 19, 2021

Yesterday, Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) met virtually with the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) for our 15th negotiation session.

NYSNA started the session by presenting a modified counterproposal on staffing. Although we remain apart in our positions, we appreciate that the union’s proposal accounted for fluctuations in unit and hospital census.

Toward the end of the day, we were pleased to also receive NYSNA’s counterproposal on the comprehensive economic proposal that we presented earlier this month. SIUH will carefully review the counterproposal so that we can begin working on these substantive issues the next time we meet on June 8.
