HPAE Local 5105 members have made some progress in bargaining with Virtua management since handing in a 10-day strike notice last week. After meeting with the employer, the bargaining committee made a decision to delay the strike and go back to the table tomorrow.

Virtua Mount Holly Hospital is facing a strike of its nearly 850 registered nurses starting at 7 a.m. Tuesday, June 16, according to a statement just released by union leaders.
“Although Virtua is a very wealthy employer having made hundreds of millions of dollars in profit alone last year, they seem not to want to invest in what is most important to patients: nurses,” Health Professionals and Allied Employees President Debbie White, also a registered nurse, said Thursday.
