Sacred Heart nurses win big with tentative agreement; members vote on ratification next week

Nurses at Provi­dence Sacred Heart Medical Center say they got what they fought for after months of negoti­a­tions that nearly culmi­nated in a strike earlier this month. 

If nurses ratify next week a tenta­tive agree­ment reached this week between their union and Provi­dence, Sacred Heart nurses will see no changes to their earned illness time or paid time off, as well as receive a 10% wage increase over the next three years.
