MNA Reassignment, Release and Reduction in Hours Proposal
We want regularly scheduled nurses to have the first chance at voluntary cancellation. Our current contract language says that agency nurses are to be cancelled first. Often over the last few years, bargaining unit nurses have been denied voluntary cancellation. This would be the new order under our proposal:- Regularly scheduled nurses who volunteer to take time off by seniority in rotation.
- Float pool nurses who volunteer to take time off by seniority in rotation.
- Agency nurses (travelers and MTMs).
- Nurses whose shift represents premium pay (i.e. incentive and/or overtime payment for scheduled shifts above normal work schedule).
- Part-time nurses whose shift represents hours above budgeted (control) hours and schedule.
- Per diem nurses.
- Flex nurses above their base control hours.
