GARDEN GROVE NEGOTIATIONS STALL, BOI SCHEDULED — Despite a concerted effort to complete negotiations for a new Garden Grove contract, months of bargaining with Prime Healthcare ended in early December with no new pact. With negotiations stalled over several key economic issues, a Board of Inquiry (BOI) has been scheduled for mid-July. The prior Garden Gove agreement, which expired on September 30, 2010, has been extended until the BOI process is complete. The Garden Grove nurses strongly support the BOI process, and look forward to ratifying a new agreement later this year.
