UHP Constitution (Amended April 2019)
Important: Recruitment/Retention Stipend for Critical Care Nurses
recruitment_and_retention_stipend_2.pdf
On Feb. 15, we finalized an MoA with UConn Health on a recruitment and retention stipend for nurses in critically understaffed areas. This may seem counter to some principles of collective bargaining. Therefore, knowing how we got here is helpful to understanding it.
Update: The MoA was revised on March 6 to include nurses in the UConn Surgery Center and nurses from other units who float into the areas identified.
