The union contract -- also called a "collective bargaining agreement" -- is a legally binding agreement between union workers and management. Contracts guarantee union members safe working conditions, job protections, wages, and benefits, which are determined through a process called negotiations or "collective bargaining." As NYSNA members, nurses at NYP have a strong union contract; however, the contract is only as strong as our ability to enforce it! The first step towards enforcement is education - all members must know the contract! If you identify a breech of contract, reach out to your delegate, committee member, or rep ASAP!
