Tentative contract reached

Tonight the Backus Federation of Nurses and Backus Hospital have tentatively agreed to a collective bargaining agreement.

The tentative agreement will be voted on by all union members this Wednesday and if approved it will become our first contract.  The bargaining committee supports ratification of this contract.

An announcement will be coming soon on when and where the ratification vote will take place.  Every member should vote.  We will be there with copies of the contract for you to review and Negotiation Committee members to answer any questions.

On behalf of the membership I would like to thank the entire bargaining team for their hours of hard work and energy, you have set a wonderful example of service.

We look forward to working in a cooperative relationship with Backus management.
