Bargaining Update – May 23, 2025

The unions have agreed to a two-week contract extension with Kaleida Health through June 14, 2025, as they prepare to present economic proposals next week. Progress has been made on several non-economic issues, including a tentative agreement to remove the holiday commitment for OCH Per Diem employees. Updates were also made to Article 12, clarifying conditions for Per Diem employment and absences.

Key Issue Still Open: Kaleida’s current proposal seeks to restrict personal day usage, especially in smaller departments, raising concerns over fairness and access.

Attend Bargaining! Members are encouraged to observe negotiations happening Monday–Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM at 2421 Main Street, Buffalo, and stay involved as the unions work to secure a strong contract for all.
