In accordance with the Constitution and Bylaws of HPAE local 5094, the election of local union officers will take place by secret mail ballot.
In our celebration of Juneteenth and Pride this month we are reminded that movements like these speak to the power of working collectively. Now is a great time to get more involved in our union!
At a time when our public institutions are under attack by the federal government, it is more important than ever that the State of New Jersey step up to fill these gaps.
University Hospital, New Jersey’s only public acute-care hospital, needs a strong and vocal champion, advocates say, especially given ongoing reconstruction at its Newark campus and the potential for massive federal funding cuts to health care programs.
HPAE Local 5094 professional members have ratified a new three-year contract with University Hospital in Newark, which includes new benefits, improved language for existing benefits as well as wage increases to bring lower-paid workers to some level of parity.
On December 9, 2024, we met with University Hospital management to continue negotiating over our contract and we are pleased to announce that we have settled!
On December 2, 2024, we met with management for a long, frustrating negotiations session. Although we are making progress we have received disappointing responses from management.
The Administration has failed to present any update on wages over the last two negotiations sessions, despite having added an extra session. They are trying to stall us, hoping we will back down.
Your Bargaining Committee is pleased to invite you to a HPAE Local 5094 Membership Meeting on Wednesday, October 16th, 12pm-2pm in MSB B610.
The wages that UH is putting on the table are still not satisfactory for us, and we believe our work is worth more. Healthcare workers deserve better than less than 1% across-the-board increases!
HPAE locals 5089 and 5094 will continue negotiating with University Hospital in Newark during this final week of contract expiration to give the employer every opportunity to bargain, safe staffing, fair wages, and benefits.
