Cape Cod Hospital, Nurses Ratify Contract
A new three-year contract is approved - a step in the right direction according to the MNA leader on Cape Cod.
Cape Cod Healthcare and members of the Massachusetts Nurses Association at Cape Cod Hospital have ratified a new three-year contract that limits mandatory overtime and improves wages and benefits.
CCHC shares the MNA’s desire to address the issue of mandatory overtime and therefore the contract includes an agreement to cap mandatory overtime at 12 shifts per year, or three per quarter, Cape Cod Hospital said in a release.
“We are proud of our ability to provide safe, world-class health care to our community,” said CCHC President and CEO Mike Lauf in a press release. “We thank the MNA negotiating team for collaborating with us to reach this agreement. We believe this experience with our nurses resulted in improved communication and a shared commitment to providing the best patient care possible, now and going forward.”
