Nurses at Eastern Maine Medical Center held the first bargaining session for their new contract on May 30. Their key proposals address patient safety, caring for the caregivers and nurse retention. To drive home their commitment to these principles, nurses brought with them an over-sized copy of their "Platform Petition" outlining these points and signed by over 500 nurses throughout the hospital.
