SIUH/NYSNA NP Negotiation Update – July 1, 2021

After more than a year of good-faith negotiations, we are pleased to report that Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) and the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) have reached a tentative agreement on a collective bargaining agreement for our nurse practitioners (NPs).

NYSNA’s NP membership must vote to ratify the contract for it to take effect. The union will schedule a ratification vote shortly. SIUH leadership is unable to disclose the details until the NYSNA NP membership ratifies the agreement.

We believe the proposed collective bargaining agreement is fair for our NPs and will ensure the shared continued commitment to providing our patients and the community safe, quality health care. We are also hopeful that we will be able to carry over this positive momentum into our ongoing negotiations with SIUH’s nurses.

Thank you for your patience and support throughout the negotiation process. Your service and dedication are greatly appreciated.
