The 420 registered nurses at Inspira Medical Center
Woodbury in Gloucester County, N.J., voted Wednesday to accept the Health
Professionals and Allied Employees (HPAE) union as their collective bargaining
agent.
"We continue to believe that our nurses do not need
to be part of a union to achieve their goals, but we respect their right to
have their voices heard," said Eileen K. Cardile, president and CEO of
Inspira Woodbury, and executive vice president of the Inspira Health Network.
"We welcome the opportunity to sit down with the union in good faith to
negotiate a contract that is fair to all stakeholders in our network and our
community."
The Inspira Health Network, based in Vineland, N.J., was
formed in November 2012 by the merger of South Jersey Healthcare and
Underwood-Memorial Hospital.
Nurses at Inspira's hospitals in Vineland, Elmer and
Bridgeton joined HPAE in 2006.
