The New Jersey Nurses Union (NJNU) was created by working nurses at St. Barnabas Medical Center who desired strong representation in all areas of professional concern. Since its inception in 1991, NJNU has proven effective in negotiating its contracts and making certain that the terms and conditions or the contracts are upheld. SBMC IMPORTANT UPDATEJUNE 25, 2010On June 22, 2010, SBMC called a meeting with NJNU, to have a ‘serious discussion’ about furloughs. If you are not aware, the Maternal-Child areas have been consistently furloughed on a daily basis because of a low census. NJNU has had dialogue with Nursing management regarding these issues and we have made suggestions to help address the situation, such as rescheduling and not having managers have patient assignments, which would provide our members with more work and less furloughs. Unfortunately management informed us in this meeting that with the continued decline in census they were implementing a reduction in force. File under: Nurses Notes
This update is to clarify the contents of the June 2, 2010 memo from Dr. Bonamo regarding the wage increase of 2%. That memo was for the non NJNU members. NJNU will get their raises persuant to the collective bargaining agreement, and without regard to any performance factors, restrictions or requirements in the June 2, 2010 notice. According to our agreement our salary increase of 2% across the board, plus a $250 increase in the base salary, inclusive of the step, for all part-time and full-time members of the RN and LPN bargaining units, except for per diems, shall be effective July 4, 2010.

To all of my nursing colleagues, I want to wish you all a Happy Nurses Day/Week. I am so honored and proud to be your NJNU President and represent such professionals. We don’t always get that pat on the back for a job well done, so I would like to give you all a big pat on the back to say thank you for being the wonderful nurses that you are. Every hour of the day, everyday, you make a difference in our patient’s lives and their families, through your special care and compassion.
