San Mateo County registered nurses have reached and were expected to ratify Thursday night a tentative new contract agreement that includes pay increases of up to 16 percent over the life of the four-year contract that runs through December 2021, the California Nurses Association/National Nurses United announced.
Most of the nurses will receive an 8 percent pay increase upon ratification of the agreement, which still must also be approved by San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.
CNA represents 400 RNs and Nurse Practitioners who work throughout the County healthcare system, including at San Mateo Medical Center, county clinics, and the Public Health and Correctional Health Departments.
According to the CNA, the contract includes an increase in union protections for nurses who work with sexual assault and domestic violence survivors; nurses who work with the Keller Center for Family Violence Intervention will now be recognized as part of the CNA/NNU bargaining unit; all San Mateo County RNs will now have access to training to help protect nurses, patients and families from workplace violence; there will be a greater RN voice on medical equipment safety; assurance RNs are able to take meal and rest breaks without reducing safe staffing for patients; and no reduction in health coverage or other contract standards for RNs.
