Sign the petition to save St. Mary’s Hospital in Passaic!

Attention JNESO Members:  St. Mary’s Hospital is planning to be acquired by Prime Healthcare Services in order to keep its doors open and continue to provide quality healthcare to the public, as well as employment to over 1,200 people.

Our Union has ratified an agreement with Prime so that our members can become part of this new, more successful chapter in St. Mary’s history.  But before moving forward, the State of New Jersey must approve the acquisition.

 As Union members, you have a powerful voice, support this acquisition by going to the web site to sign the petition. Remember there is strength in numbers so please encourage family and friends to support this very important cause!

Two new job classifications are now recognized in the Bergen Technical Unit: MRI Technician and Cardiology Technician. After negotiating the job descriptions and pay scale, a memorandum of agreement was signed on December 6th. Currently, the Bergen Technical Unit is in-need of shop stewards and it is requested that a member from each depart ment to sign up for steward training. If you want your voice heard, please consider signing up for our next steward training class.

Within the next 6 months, pre-negotiation surveys will be sent out to every member. Please complete as soon as possible and either send them back to the JNESO office, or drop them off to one of your Union officers. If you are interested in steward training, please contact your JNESO representative Diane Grady at 732-745-2776 ext.116 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
