The Day - Backus nurses want to negotiate terms of COVID-19 vaccination mandate - News from southeastern Connecticut

Norwich Unionized nurses at Backus Hospital are preparing to face a mandate that all health care workers be vaccinated against COVID-19, a policy Connecticut hospitals are expected to adopt in coming days and weeks. In a message sent Tuesday night to its members, the Backus Federation of Nurses strongly urges everyone who can receive the vaccine to be vaccinated while vowing to “advocate for our members’ right to exemptions under the law.” “As a Union we believe choice is the better policy. Unfortunately, it appears the Hospital has the right to make vaccines mandatory,” the union says. “But the Union has the right to negotiate the impact of the new policy.”

Backus Nurse was virtual guest for State of the Union

NORWICH For William W. Backus Hospital Emergency Department Nurse Sherri Dayton, learning that she’d be a part of one of the biggest American political events of the year was “surreal.” “I was in the E.R., I was busy doing the tasks of being a nurse, and then I got a text and an email at the same time,” Dayton said. Dayton was U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney’s virtual guest for the State of the Union on Wednesday night. Dayton’s invitation was due to her advocacy for one of the 2nd District Democrat’s bills, H.R. 1195, which aims to prevent workplace violence toward healthcare workers. That bill has currently passed in the House.
