Debbie White is president of HPAE, New Jersey’s largest union of health care workers. She says that overwhelmingly nurses have reported that the number one reason they are leaving hospitals is poor staffing. The second reason nurses are leaving is closely related to the first: stress due to poor staffing. Ande Richards
In 2024, unionized health care workers, including more than half the members at HPAE locals across New Jersey, will go to bargaining tables to negotiate expiring contracts with their employers.
This year, Health Professionals and Allied Employees will negotiate contracts in six separate locals, representing 7,000 members in hospitals from Bergen County down though Camden County. Safe staffing has been and will continue to be the top priority of every one of these negotiations.
