Nurses, Hospital Come to Terms
NYSNA Benefit Fund Preserved, Wage Increase 'Unprecedented'
ONEONTA—A.O. Fox Hospital leadership has reached an agreement with the New York State Nurses Association related to a collective bargaining agreement for registered nurses at the hospital. Negotiations have successfully concluded after just a few months, according to hospital officials.
“We would like to thank the representatives at NYSNA for their good faith collaboration,” said Joan MacDonald, DNP, MSN, RN, chief nursing officer and vice president of patient services at A.O. Fox Hospital in a statement. “We were able to reach an agreement after less than four months of negotiating—more quickly than is typical for this process—that will best meet the needs of our nurses while we continue to prioritize providing the highest quality care possible to our patients and communities. I am very proud of the expertise, support and dedication our leadership team demonstrated.”
