LANSING, MI — After months of negotiations, UM Health-Sparrow says it has reached a tentative agreement with the union representing its nurses. The hospital issued the following statement early afternoon on Tuesday. Here it is in its entirety:
“After a long night of bargaining, University of Michigan Health-Sparrow is pleased to announce it has reached a tentative contract agreement (TA) with Professional Employees Council of Sparrow Hospital-Michigan Nurses Association (PECSH-MNA).
The three-year contract impacts the hospital’s more than 2,000 PECSH-MNA-represented nurses and more than 50 other classifications of health professionals, such as pharmacists, lab technicians, social workers and therapists.
We are grateful to both bargaining teams, who have worked tirelessly since August to reach an agreement that best supports our nurses and health care professionals and our mission to provide patients with safe, quality care. We are confident this agreement will help to attract and retain top talent across our units and ensure leading wages and benefits for our team members.
Details of the agreement are forthcoming and PECSH-MNA team members will have a ratification vote in the coming weeks.”
