The nurses and techs at Armstrong County Memorial Hospital have a new contract.
The new three-year contract covers more than 300 in both the nurses and tech union. Around 90 percent of membership in both organizations approved the deal.
The new contract includes workplace violence protections, fair scheduling rules, and a three percent wage increase each year of the deal.
“We used the voices our Union affords us to help create a contract that emphasizes patient and staff safety, and the recruitment and retention of bedside caregivers,” longtime ACMH Laboratory Tech Cris Scott said in a statement, who also serves as president of ACMH Techs & LPNs. “I’m so proud of it – I want to see our tech contract used as a model for other Unions and maybe even see other technicians be inspired to join a Union so they, too, can speak up for themselves and their patients.”
The previous contract expired three months ago.
