Just days before a planned strike, Temple University Health and two major hospital unions reached a new three-year contract covering more than 2,600 nurses and staff. The agreement includes wage increases of over 3% per year, expanded safety measures such as new panic buttons and security officers, and commitments to hire more staff to ease workloads. Union leaders called the deal a defensive but meaningful victory that preserves key benefits and improves conditions for hospital workers.
