The new agreement will be effective Jan. 15, 2021, and run through Jan. 15, 2024.
Following nursesâ November 2019 election to have the SEIU represent their interests, members of the CHH leadership and SEIU 1199 negotiating committee have met since January 2020 to develop the new contract.
âWe are pleased to finalize this process and reach an agreement that represents the hard work and commitment of both sides,â said Mike Mullins, president and CEO, Mountain Health Network, in a prepared statement. âAs expected, it was a lengthy process to complete a new agreement of this magnitude, which is anticipated to have lasting positive results.
âBecause of the efforts of the negotiating committee and the deliberate approach that was undertaken, we will be able to extend the enhancements to all staff across Mountain Health Network. Most important, this agreement helps us to continue to provide the very best care for our patients, especially during the COVID pandemic, without interruption.â
