UnityPoint Health-Meriter Hospital, Nurses Reach Final Agreement Following Strike

  • UnityPoint Health-Meriter Hospital and SEIU Wisconsin nurses finalized a two-year contract on Saturday following a five-day strike in Madison.
  • Prolonged negotiations and nurses' concerns over staffing ratios, safety, and working conditions led to the strike that began on Tuesday morning.
  • The contract includes competitive wage increases, improved language on staffing collaboration, and commitments to address safety concerns despite not mandating fixed patient-to-nurse ratios.
  • Nurses won an 8% wage increase over two years and strike language giving them a voice in staffing decisions, with hospital leaders calling it a contract they can all be proud of.
  • The agreement concluded the strike and is intended to support the hospital in keeping its seasoned nursing staff and bringing in new personnel, while preserving current benefits such as health insurance and mental health resources.
