Thursday, June 26, 2014(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Nurses at Children’s National Medical
Center voted to accept a new contract. The
3-year deal “provides additional benefits for
members without any losses from the previous
agreement,” said District of Columbia Nurses
Association’s (DCNA), the nurses’ union.
“DCNA worked hard to ensure a fair contract
with management, including job protections and
competitive salaries,” said Sandra Falwell,
Chief Negotiator and Chairperson of the
DCNA/Children’s bargaining unit, and a
registered nurse who has worked for the
hospital for nearly 40 years. “Our leadership
at Children’s Hospital remains committed to
safe patient care, good working conditions and
a fair and honest contract,” added Edward J.
Smith, DCNA’s Acting Executive
Director.
