TUH nurses reach contract agreement

Contract negotiations for about 1,600 nurses and allied professionals at Temple University Hospitals have reached a tentative agreement. It was announced on Wednesday by Temple University Hospital and Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals.
“Both organizations have agreed to not discuss the terms of the proposed new contracts until after ratification occurs,” said Rebecca Harmon, spokesperson for Temple University Hospital. “But I can say that this tentative agreement was achieved following several months of respectful and productive dialogue between the two parties at the negotiating table.”
The proposed settlement comes just three months before the expiration of the agreements. There will be further information available after union members have an opportunity to review and vote on the proposed agreement. Ratification meetings are scheduled for Thursday, June 27.
