IRONWOOD, MI— Nurses at Aspirus Ironwood Hospital have voted to ratify a new union contract.
The Michigan Nurses Association says the nurses approved the contract Wednesday. It takes effect immediately and runs through July 19, 2028.
The agreement maintains the wage structure that rewards nurses’ experience and guarantees annual raises across the board. It includes increased pay for on-call and night shifts, a cap on how much nurses pay for health insurance, and improved language around employer disclosure of workplace violence incidents.
Meanwhile, MNA nurses at other Aspirus U.P. hospitals continue negotiating new contracts. Aspirus Iron River nurses bargain again on January 27 and Aspirus Keweenaw nurses in Laurium continued their bargaining on Thursday.
