Our Union has also filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board over Management's unlawful actions, including their bad-faith bargaining and failure to provide any information.
Last week, Management sent a 30-day layoff notice covering several workers in Food & Nutrition, with future layoffs across the Hospital being considered.
We resolved several key sticking points, including Per-Diems receiving the same minimum raise as FT & PT Members, increased staffing protections, RNs doing Supervisor Duties, and Weekend Make-Ups.
We are happy to announce that while we’re not out of the woods yet, management has informed us that they will not be implementing layoffs in January.
Yesterday (Jan 20), our bargaining team met with Management. We discussed Wages, Staffing, Differentials, Hours & Schedules, Holidays, and The HPAE Retiree Medical Trust.
Nominations for Local 5131 Officer positions were closed on January 5, 2026. In accordance with the HPAE election rules, all unopposed candidates shall be deemed elected.
Management increased their wage proposal to 2% per year minimum, with some people receiving significantly more than 2% in 2026. However, many experienced nurses would only receive the 2% under Management's proposal.
Please complete the survey as soon as possible and encourage your coworkers to do the same. The more voices we have, the stronger we will be at the table!
Management completely rejected our proposals to limit the number of residents a nurse can be assigned and to address issues with admissions and discharges.
We are reaching out to members of Llanfair House / Berkshire Post Acute to ask that you review any outstanding or unpaid medical bills that should have been covered during your employment.
We stand in solidarity with the NYSNA nurses as they advocate for safe staffing and safer working conditions.
HPAE 5131 invites you to a special membership meeting with guest speaker Donna Cardillo, RN. There will be free dinner and giveaways.
