LANSING, MI – We are pleased to announce that after more than four months of collective bargaining, we have reached a tentative agreement (TA) with PECSH-MNA for a three-year contract for our 2,300 PECSH-MNA-represented caregivers.

We want to thank the bargaining team from PECSH-MNA for negotiating on behalf of their members and we’re especially grateful to our caregivers for the exceptional care and dedication they provide our patients every day. Navigating the pandemic for the past 21 months has been challenging for everyone and our caregivers have responded with grace and compassion.

Details of the agreement are forthcoming and PECSH-MNA caregivers will have the opportunity to vote on the contract in the coming days.

We will build on the momentum that began prior to these negotiations to recruit and retain top talent across our units; continue supplying our caregivers with all necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) to keep them safe; offer competitive wages and benefits; and implement attendance and staffing policies to ensure our caregivers and patients receive the support they deserve.

As the region’s only community-owned, community-based, community-governed health system, we will maintain our mission of protecting Mid-Michigan during the worst health crisis of our lifetime.
