NYU Lutheran contract vote
Hundreds of Federation of Nurses/UFT members employed at NYU Lutheran Medical Center turned out to vote “yes” on their new two-year contract. The new contract protects the nurses’ defined-benefit pension and maintains their health insurance package. In addition, the nurses will receive, in total, a slightly larger than 6 percent increase in salary over the life of the contract.
