Jefferson HealthCare (RN) - Contract Ratified

After several months of bargaining, Nurses at Jefferson voted YES to ratify their contract!

Highlights of the contract include:

  • Wage increases of 4%-15.8% in year one, 2.5% in year two, and 2.5% in year three

  • Retro pay from January 2, 2022 plus a $1300, ratification bonus prorated by FTE

  • One for one credit review to be completed within 60 days of ratification for past years of experience

  • Improved work schedule language and improved pay for working extra shifts

  • Clarification of restructure reassignment including role definitions

The Jefferson Board is meeting on June 22 to review and vote on this contract. When ratified by the board, Nurses should expect to see the wage increases as well as the retro and ratification bonus on checks by July 22.

BIG THANK YOU TO THE BARGAINING TEAM: Robin Bridge, Melanee Knudsen, Ben Schadler and Jeannette Hundley!
