“Haverhill nurses receive pay raises, bonuses and a pension plan in an agreement reached last week with Holy Family Hospital-Haverhill.

The three-year agreement between the hospital and 141 members of the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA) also promises reduced out-of-pocket costs for health insurance. It settles a longstanding dispute between nurses and the hospital that went public last summer with some community groups backing the nurses.

‘We are pleased to announce this agreement which was ratified overwhelmingly by our valued nurse employees through their union. Holy Family Hospital is pleased to offer exceptional pay, benefits, and education opportunities to all of our employees, including MNA members. This contract will continue and further that tradition,’ said Holy Family Hospital President President Craig Jesiolowski.

The new contract includes 3.2 percent pay raises over three years, a 2 percent bonus on wages paid in the last year and a 1 percent bonus on paychecks between November and next April.”
