The New York State Nurses Association reached an agreement with Westchester County for forty-three nurses working in the local community college, county jail, public health, and social services. The six-year contract is set to run between 2016-2021, and grants the nurses a 2.5 percent raise in 2018,2018, and 2021, and a 3 percent raise in 2020. The county contends with eight nurses unions, one of which has been working without a contract for seven years. County Executive George Latimer says that he is hoping to finalize an agreement in September with the Civil Service Employees Association in order to close the gap after years of drawn-out offers and counteroffers.
