"It feels like we’re about to make a difference in the lives of the employees at Butler Hospital, not just now, but for generations and decades to come. It’s going to be great. We’re excited."
From the start, Butler’s leadership has been fully engaged in the bargaining process. We recognize the importance of wages, benefits, and workplace safety and have worked diligently and in good faith to address these issues. Our goal remains a fair and equitable agreement that supports our employees while upholding the exceptional care our patients deserve.
We believe collaboration—not division—is the path forward. We urge SEIU 1199NE to join us in pursuing meaningful dialogue that benefits our team and the people we serve.
At Butler Hospital, safety is non-negotiable. Like all Care New England hospitals, we have comprehensive protocols to protect staff and patients from workplace violence. Our nurses, clinical teams, and security personnel are trained in de-escalation techniques, and high-risk behavioral health areas receive enhanced support and staffing. We do not tolerate violence in any form. Our staff are committed professionals who work tirelessly under challenging circumstances, and we will continue to advocate for their safety and wellbeing.
Butler Hospital remains unwavering in our mission to maintain a safe, respectful, and rewarding environment for our employees and the communities we serve. We look forward to ongoing discussions on a fair and equitable agreement.
The people taking care of some of the most challenging patients, should make a decent wage. They deserve to be able to take care of their basic needs, and the needs of their families.
