All day event
Boston Medical Center (East Newton Campus) Picket from 7 a.m. -
2 p.m. at 88 East Newton St., Boston, MA. The Boston Medical Center nurses have
completed their 20th negotiating session with talks stalling over: the
hospital's demand for unlimited floating between units and campuses, the right
to unilaterally cancel shifts and to limit bumping rights following a layoff.
The hospital is also refusing to negotiate a retiree health benefit enjoyed by
surrounding MNA hospitals, refuses to agree to "Kentucky River" language to
protect nurses' union rights, and is offering a three year contract at 1 percent
per year, even though the facility has posted record profits and granted its CEO
a 46 percent pay raise. Directions:http://www.bmc.org/patients/directions/destinations.html. For more information email dschildmeier@mnarn.org. »
