YOUNGSTOWN — ValleyCare Northside Medical Center officials said the contract ratified Wednesday by registered nurses includes the same economic package made in its final offer to the union in August 2013.
The new 12-month contract mirrors contracts previously accepted by all other union-represented employees across ValleyCare, according to Northside’s statement today.
The previous Youngstown General Duty Nurse Association/Ohio Nurse Association contract expired July 19, 2012. The new agreement contains no retroactivity provisions, hospital officials said.
Significant issues of the agreement include competitive wage increases, the hospital added.
