SSUH / 1199 Negotiation Update – 2/11/2021

Yesterday, South Shore University Hospital (SSUH) met virtually with 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East (1199) for our 18th negotiation session.

SSUH and 1199 each spent a significant portion of the day working internally on the remaining economic and non-economic proposals. As we near the end of these negotiations, our focus is on ensuring we come to terms on a fair and fiscally-responsible contract that recognizes each nurse practitioner’s unique experience and professional role in caring for patients. We are optimistic that as result of both parties’ hard work yesterday, we will be able to reach a final agreement at our next session on Feb. 26.
