At a news conference Monday, the technicians, represented by the Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied Professionals, said a negotiation meeting scheduled for that morning didn’t take place, but hospital administrators delivered a wage proposal. “We responded to their proposal as they said this morning with significant movement on our end. We have responded, they are viewing it with no counter at this time,” said Tara Erksine, a CT tech and bargaining committee member. Wages, staffing and healthcare costs are major issues in the negotiations, according to the union. New tech hires often receive higher pay than experienced techs who train them, tech wages are below the market and that of nearby hospitals, and most haven’t received a raise in two years or longer, the union said.
