Spokespeople for East Liverpool City Hospital’s local union had gathered outside the hospital Saturday morning to announce that the union once again rejected the hospital’s “last, best and final offer.” Speakers included Jordan Wilson, local union president Lori Bruce and East Liverpool at-large councilman John Mercer. No followup negotiations have been scheduled. (Photo by Stephanie Ujhelyi)

EAST LIVERPOOL The war of words continued between East Liverpool City Hospital and its nurses union late Friday afternoon.
Bob Cousins, deputy executive officer of labor relations with the Ohio Nurses Association, seemingly took offense to a social media post by the hospital’s marketing team, publicly acknowledging that it allegedly “refuses to negotiate with its registered nurses and their union, “ who are members of East Liverpool Nurses Association Local 5903.
Cousins said in a statement released to the press around 4 p.m. Friday via email, “The hospital is instead imposing a portion of what it deems its last, best and final offer. The Ohio Nurses Association (ONA), which represents the 130 registered nurses at the hospital, has repeatedly told hospital management the nurses want to negotiate a resolution to the dispute and bargaining is not an impasse because ONA remains open-minded and flexible in its positions.”
