Thursday’s picket culminated with a rally featuring elected officials, candidates in the upcoming primary elections, and nurses. Speaking into a microphone, Patrick Kelly, an ICU nurse and co-president of the local, asked the crowd to recall how in the early months of the pandemic management put up signs that proclaimed “heroes work here.” But in negotiations, he said management has not followed through by meeting the nurses’ demands.
The hospital has about 300 open nursing positions and the hospital relies temporary nurses supplied by an outside agencies to fill the gap. Other hospitals in the area have been making changes to retain and attract nurses, he said, while Einstein took a different path under owner Jefferson Health.State Sen.
“We’re really doing our best to rush around and give patients the care that the need, but sometimes, unfortunately, we fall short,” she said rocking a stroller decorated with picket signs, with her one-year-old son sleeping inside.“Jefferson/Einstein is committed to negotiating in good faith for a new contract that provides nurses with fair, competitive wages and benefits while allowing the hospital to continue delivering safe, high-quality care,” Woods said.
