Negotiations Update
IRMC submitted their economic proposals to the team September 15. The hospital's proposals contain:
- No protection against shift pattern changes (length or hours of shift)
- Ability to schedule RN's 3 different shifts within a 2 week period
- Reject ability of nurses to take the weekend off with their vacation (vacations limited to Monday-Friday)
- No guarantee of Friday night off before weekends off
- No guarantee of 8 hours sleep time between shifts
- No ability to leave at end of shift whether management has fulfilled staffing obligations or not
- No limit to number of patients a nurse may be responsible to caring for
Additionally the Hospital has proposed:
- Wage increases of 1.5% per year
- A PTO plan far worse than the PTO plan we rejected last negotiations---plan calls for elimination of 4 sick days per year for nurses with less than 10 years seniority; 3 days for nurses with more than 10 years
- Major cost shifting of health insurance with RN's paying 20% of total insurance costs to maintain present Select Blue insurance.
