November 5 Update
- Today, we continued discussions regarding the Ultimate KRONOS Group (UKG) implementation, a Kronos system that modernizes timekeeping, scheduling, and will enhance our staffing system and clinical assignment process.
- Both sides made significant progress, including but not limited to, changes to proposals in Section 24 regarding hiring of New to Specialty and RN Resident, Section 30 Shared Governance that seeks to allow HNA staff and guest (non-Queen’s employees) to attend Nurse Council meetings, under certain conditions and implementation of UKG enhancements with a commitment to negotiate any prospective changes to our staffing acuity system.
- We are scheduled to meet again on Tuesday, November 19,
Keeping you informed about our negotiations with HNA is extremely important to us. For the latest updates, visit www.QueensUnionNegotiations.com.
