The memo states, in part: “Your team made it very clear in its opening statement that ONA members are not prepared to have hospitals balance their budgets on the backs of registered nurses (RNs) and health-care professionals and at the expense of the quality care we give to our patients. Our agenda does not include “concessions;” neither are we interested in providing the employer with “flexibility” that will result in more skill-mix changes, scheduling changes and reassignments.”
