Shenandoah Heights nursing home workers get tentative contract deal

After eight days of striking, SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania workers at Shenandoah Heights Healthcare nursing home reached a tentative contract agreement Saturday morning. Workers at Shenandoah Heights were among the roughly 700 unionized workers at 14 nursing homes across Pennsylvania, including Gardens for Memory Care at Easton, who went on strike Sept. 2. The strike occurred after contract negotiations failed to produce a deal in a dispute over pay, benefits and staffing levels.
