Southside / 1199 Negotiation Update – 01/09/2020

Firstly, we would like to take a moment to wish you all a belated Happy New Year and express our tremendous gratitude for the world-class care you deliver on Southside Hospital’s behalf.

On the heels of our fourth bargaining session, we also wanted to take the opportunity to update you on the status of negotiations between Southside Hospital and 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East (1199).

We made some progress on several non-economic proposals during Tuesday’s negotiation session with 1199.  As we stated at the onset of negotiations, we are fully committed to negotiating in good faith toward a fair and fiscally-responsible contract that balances the needs of both parties and reflects the unique professional status of our NPs.

We encourage you to stay informed throughout the negotiations by:

• Visiting this website for negotiation updates and other information.
• Signing up for text message alerts by texting SSNP to 333-111

We’ll be back in touch with you following our next negotiation session on Feb. 5.
