Statement by Governor Murphy on Tentative Contract Agreement Between Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and United Steelworkers Local 4-200

12/1/2023

“Since the beginning of the nurses strike at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, I have encouraged both sides to get in the negotiating room and resolve their contract issues at the bargaining table. Within the last week, I have had repeated conversations with both hospital and union leadership to do just that.

“I am pleased that Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital and United Steelworkers Local 4-200 have reached a tentative agreement that recognizes the indispensable role of our frontline healthcare workers, who provide critical services to patients throughout our state, while allowing nurses to return to their jobs. I am grateful to the many individuals who were involved in these talks for their dedication to finding a fair and acceptable solution that works for both sides.”
