The administrative team at Nathan Littauer Hospital & Nursing Home, together with leadership of the New York State Nurses Association, while under the guidance of federal mediation, are pleased to announce they have reached a tentative agreement. Both parties are thankful that finally through many sensitive negotiation sessions (including a 25-hour marathon final meeting), we were able to work resourcefully for a common goal benefiting all involved. The agreement has yet to be ratified, but the strike and lockout notices have been withdrawn.
