Mission nurses ratify contract; deal includes 7% wage increase in first year Staff reports Mission registered nurses have voted to ratify their first union contract. The three-year deal is expected to “provide significant improvements for patient care protections and enhanced standards that promote retention of experienced RNs and recruitment of new nurses,” according to a press release from National Nurses Organizing Committee/National Nurses United. The NNOC-NC, which represents 1,800 registered nurses at Mission, announced a tentative agreement July 1, with plans for nurses to vote on ratifying it July 1 and 2. The vote was announced July 3. “Our new contract is a huge step forward for nurses, patients, and our entire community,” said RN Sue Fischer, a member of the bargaining team.”
