The union representing health care workers, including nurses at Maui Memorial Medical Center, has ratified a new, four-year contract with Maui Health.

Bargaining teams from Maui Health/Kaiser Permanente and United Nurses and Health Care Employees of Hawaii representing more than 900 workers on Maui and Lānaʻi have come to an agreement on a historic new contract that was ratified this week by union members.

Union workers and Maui Health have reached an agreement that members of the bargaining team are calling “historic” and say should avoid further strikes after hundreds of health care workers walked off the job for three days in November.

Maui Health nurses secure a new 4-year contract with pay raises up to 100%. The deal is retroactive from October 2023 to September 2028 for 900 employees.

Members of the United Nurses and Health Care Employees of Hawaii have overwhelmingly voted to ratify a new four year contract with Maui Health/Kaiser Permanente, avoiding a second strike. The ratification of the contract comes just days after nurses on Oahu and Kauai authorize their own strikes,

MAUI COUNTY, Hawaii (Island News) -- Maui nurses are calling the new four-year contract they ratified today with Maui Health a huge victory.
