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!

Talks continue with management concerning issues about working with aggressive supervisors, health and safety, and inadequate supplies to do one’s job. The Union continues to file grievances for breaches of contract. Your Union will meet with other local Union leaders and hospital leadership in the New Year. The focus will be on patient care and how everyone can come together for a better working environment. If there are questions or concerns, please contact your labor representative Meredith Larson at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
