The four-day strike and three-week lockout at Lawrence and Memorial Hospital is over and both parties are focused on bettering their future relationship after a contract was ratified on Monday. The contract covered about 800 nurses and technicians with fewer than 20 workers voting against the revised contract. Neither the union officials, nor hospital management have given any details about the contract in order to preserve the deal as a ?win? for both sides, without external judgment. During negotiations, an impasse was reached over the issue of the hospital transferring work away from the main campus without job security for the nurses and technicians in those roles. A union officer attributes the rise in grievances and issues during negotiations to the environment for hospitals changing to a competitiveness formerly reserved for private sector business.
