EMMC, nurses’ union reach temporary deal

Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor said it has reached a temporary agreement for a new three-year contract with the union that represents the hospital’s nurses.

The Bangor Daily News reported that the Wednesday announcement comes after both sides had been unable to reach an agreement following the expiration of the union’s previous contract in May.

“This agreement is the result of compromises on both sides,” Deborah Carey Johnson, EMMC president and CEO, said in a statement. “It is a responsible contract for the hospital and community and acknowledges our nurses’ essential contribution to patient care. The agreement ensures we can remain focused on our greatest priority: providing high quality care to our patients.”
