UChicago Medicine and thousands of its nurses have reached a new contract agreement, averting a But their union, National Nurses Organizing Committee/National Nurses United, and the health system reached a tentative agreement, the union announced Monday. The union represents about 2,800 nurses at UChicago Medicine.
The union and health system had been in negotiations over a new contract since October. Among sticking points, the union had wanted the health system to agree not to assign patients to charge nurses, who are nurses in charge of a floor. And they had wanted a clinically trained professional to work in a staffing office in order to offer input on staffing decisions., when 2,200 of them walked off the job for one day.
During the 2019 strike, the health system moved dozens of babies and children who were in intensive care units at the University of Chicago Medical Center to other hospitals. The hospital also limited patient transfers from other hospitals, temporarily closed some units, rescheduled some elective procedures and went on bypass, meaning it asked ambulances to take new patients to other hospitals.
