In 2014, AFT Healthcare-Maryland negotiated a Hiring & Retention Bonus for RNs in 24/7 facilities. When bonuses were due to be paid, the State imposed certain eligibility criteria which were never negotiated with the union. After three years of disputing the issue with the State, the union received a decision from the arbitrator on August 3rd.
