Nurses Reach Tentative Agreement with St. Charles
Agreement gives nurses a 3.5 percent increase over the next two years
“After working through many challenging conversations over the past few months, we have come to an agreement on a contract that both sides support recommending for approval,” said Leslie Toll, caregiver and labor relations director for St. Charles. “I can’t thank everyone involved in this process enough for their time and dedication.”
Labor negotiations began at the Bend hospital campus in April. For the last two sessions, the teams relied on the services of a federal mediator to help them reach consensus on the economic items in the contract including wages, health and welfare benefits and a new short-term disability program.
“The ONA team is unanimously recommending the package for ratification by the members,” said Alison Hamway, ONA labor representative to the Bend nurses. “At the end of the day, we feel both sides worked hard to reach an agreement that both of us can recommend.”
