After announcing contract negotiations with its nurses union have reached an impasse, the Indiana Regional Medical Center says it has informed the IRNA/PSEA that it is “implementing certain components of its Last, Best, and Final Offer.” The union rejected that offer on Monday and made its own counteroffer.
The specific elements are: Changes to the nurses’ paid time off benefits, which the hospital says will bring it “more in line with industry standards, having overtime begin after forty hours of work in a work week, in line with the Fair Labor Standards Act and changes to health insurance following IRMC’s open enrollment period in May, to take effect July 1st.”
