Tentative Contract Agreement Agreed Upon By McLaren Flint Nurses

Nurses with McLaren Flint Hospital have ratified a contract, avoiding a strike.

Nurses Union AFSCME Local 875 reached a tentative agreement with the hospital last Thursday, with officials saying the contract will “add lead RNs, create a new labor-management safety committee, include significant wage increases, and establish an additional health insurance option for the nurses at McLaren Flint.”

The union had authorized a ten day strike last week after a tentative contract was overwhelmingly rejected by nurses. This new agreement cancels the planned strike.
