In addition, the union advocated for charge nurses at Perkins Hospital. AFT Healthcare-Maryland wants to ensure that registered nurses (RNs) aren’t being paid more than the charge nurses who train them. This means the union lobbies for legislators to take budgetary action to ensure that those who are just starting as nurses for the state aren’t paid at a greater rate than those who have invested a number of years as state nurses. AFT Healthcare-Maryland was pleased to meet and discuss the measure with Del. Pat Young. Del. Young is a the chair of the Baltimore County Delegation in the Maryland House of Delegates and is also on the appropriations committee.
