Through mismanagement, the Brattleboro Memorial Hospital (BMH) administration has dug a $14 million hole and is now asking nurses, frontline healthcare workers, and low paid workers to bear the brunt of the economic pain.
Management is proposing for nurses, frontline and low paid workers:
- No wage increases for three years
- Cuts to differentials (these only affect frontline healthcare workers)
- A 4% reduction of retirement contributions
- Forcing spouses off of family insurance and other cuts to healthcare
- Cuts to paid time off
- Cuts to union rights
