Alexandra Ryan, 1199SEIU union contract administrator for Peconic Bay, said Northwell approved two out of the three yearly raises for a contract extension for employees at other branch hospitals on Long Island. The raises were 7% in 2023, 6% in 2024 and the last will be 5% in October 2025.
When hospital workers at PBMC asked for the same, they were only offered roughly a 2% to 3% wage increase, she said.
