After prolonged negotiations, nurses at Maine’s largest hospital have reached a tentative 3-year agreement with the hospital on a union contract.
The nurses union at Maine Medical Center in Portland announced Thursday that it had reached a contract that covers patient and workplace safety, as well as wages, benefits and working conditions.
According to CBS 13 News, the contract includes guaranteed breaks and mealtimes and ending mandatory rotating day-night shifts.
The agreement still needs to be ratified. That could happen as early as next week.
