SIUH/NYSNA Negotiation Update – July 23, 2021

After more than six months of good-faith negotiations, we are pleased to report that Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) and the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) have reached a tentative agreement on a collective bargaining agreement for our nurses.

NYSNA’s RN membership must vote to ratify the contract for it to take effect. The union will schedule a ratification vote shortly. SIUH leadership is unable to disclose the details until the NYSNA RN membership ratifies the agreement.

We believe the proposed collective bargaining agreement is fair for our nurses, supports our shared mission to deliver safe, quality health care to our patients and communities, and reflects our continued commitment to being a great place to work. Thank you for your patience and support throughout the negotiation process.
