"The University of California and the California Nurses Association reached a tentative four-year agreement for nearly 24,000 nurses that includes meaningful pay and benefit increases across the university's 19 medical centers and campuses, the two sides announced on Sunday, Nov. 16. As part of the terms of the deal, CNA canceled its two-day, systemwide strike, which was planned for Nov. 17-18 at UC campuses. UC nurses will vote on the tentative agreement later this week, CNA said in a statement."
"This strong, forward-looking deal honors the vital role nurses play in delivering exceptional care and advancing UC's public service mission. Kristan Delmarty, an RN at UCLA Santa Monica, and a member of the UC bargaining team and CNA's board of directors, said that CNA's priority was to ensure UC nurses were given the resources to care for patients and nurses after years of short-staffing and under-resourcing."

The California Nurses Association canceled a planned two-day systemwide strike as part of the deal. UC nurses are scheduled to vote on the tentative agreement later in the week. The agreement aims to address years of short-staffing and under-resourcing by securing additional resources for patient care and nurse support.
