CNA nurses OK Tenet pact, including 25.5 percent pay boost [San Francisco]

The California Nurses Association said Monday that its member RNs approved a new collective bargaining agreement with nine Tenet Healthcare hospitals in California, including two in the Bay Area, that gives nurses an average 25.5 percent pay increase over four years.
The new arrangement also includes a broader five-year agreement covering organizing rights and resolution of disputes that the union says could open to door to union-representation elections "for at least 3,000 non-union RNs around the United States."


Chuck Idelson, a senior spokesman for the Oaklan
d-based union, told the San Francisco Business Times that the exact states covered by the multi-state organizing pact are still up in the air, with details yet to be determined.
