Nominations for the Local 5105 AFT Convention Delegates officially closed on April 27, 2026. Following the close of the nomination period, the local has received only one (1) nomination.
Management is realizing that we are ready to do what it takes to achieve our priorities in this contract, and we need to continue to build the pressure in the weeks ahead.
We did see some movement on our most critical issues of staffing and health and safety. While management's counters are nowhere close to where they need to be, they do show that the collective actions are making a huge difference.
As many of you know, Virtua is telling nurses to remove our “Safe Staffing Saves Lives” stickers. This violates federal labor law and we will be filing a charge with the National Labor Relations Board.
At yesterday’s bargaining session, management gave us several proposals that included...
If we are going to win enforceable nurse to patient ratios, highly competitive pay and benefits and a safe workplace for us and our patients, we need folks to get even more involved as we get closer to our contract
Yesterday (3/30) at the first day of negotiations, our committee and a large group of member observers delivered a petition with 667 signatures representing well over 80% of our membership!
