Nurses went on strike earlier this month in protest of what they say are dangerous staffing levels.
“It is absurd for RWJBH to claim it can afford to pay its executives millions, yet is somehow unable to provide its nurses fair raises. Instead of negotiating in good faith, the hospital offered a $1 an hour raise for on-call shifts only, which, after adjusting for inflation, would amount to a significant pay cut,” Sanders wrote. “It is also unconscionable that, while working long hours to provide quality health care, RWJBH nurses are not guaranteed that same quality health care….
“Let’s be clear: if RWJBH can afford to hire these replacement nurses and pay their executives millions each year, they can afford a contract that keeps nurses safe and provides living wages and good benefits,” Sanders concluded. “These workers have been on the frontlines in our fight against COVID-19 and have risked their lives to save patients under challenging conditions. They deserve better.”It’s no secret that it’s a tough time for independent journalism.
