Local 5030 Members Fight to Secure and Maintain Safe Parking
An overwhelming majority of day shift members of HPAE Local 5030 signed a petition demanding that Hackensack UMC/Palisades respect workers’ rights and provide safe and secure parking at the facility. This brought management to the table and the union was able to secure the following:
- On-site parking for the following members;
- ED 12 hour shift employees ending after 6pm
- Maternity 12 hour shift employees ending after 6pm
- Rehab employees that work flex shift ending after 6pm
- OR employees that work flex shifts ending after 6pm
- Boiler operators
- Radiology employees that work flex shifts ending after 6pm
- Food Service employees that prepare breakfast
- Phlebotomists that begin at 5am
- Other employees scheduled to start prior to 5:30am
- Anyone with an On-call decal
- Adequate lighting at the off-site location
- Security at the off-site location
- Increased shuttle service from 4 to 5 running every 10 minutes during peak times
- Established a decal system
- Night shift employees parking on-site do not have to move their cars prior to the end of shift
- Evening and Night Shift employees will continue to park on-site
- When transportation and/or security is not available to drive employees after hours, employees can obtain a taxi voucher from security in the main lobby.
WHEN WE STAND TOGETHER, WE WIN!
