Hawai’i Nurses’ Association/OPEIU Local 50 nurses at Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children overwhelmingly voted to ratify a HISTORIC three-year contract, which includes the state's first contractually enforceable safe staffing ratios—a major priority for the medical center's 600+ nurses.

Throughout a year of bargaining, three informational pickets, two ULP strikes, and a three-week lockout, Kapi'olani nurses remained united. In doing so, they've won a monumental contract that will help improve the lives of patients and inspire healthcare workers across the state to fight for what they deserve.
