The hospital administration finally agreed to our salary demands today. We secured the raises we fought for and our hard work is being recognized. Stay alert to ensure these new pay rates are reflected in your next check.

The pharmacists and pharmacy technicians at New York-Presbyterian Hospital are more important now than ever before. We assist with the careful preparation of medications and IVs every day, in addition to other departmental responsibilities. We have proven to be an indispensable asset to the hospital as we have effectively passed numerous state and federal inspections, and we work tirelessly to improve and enhance the hospital pharmacy field. Without the addition of our tremendous work, it would be hard for New York-Presbyterian to have become, and to remain, as the #1 hospital in New York City, #1 hospital in the state, and #8 medical center in the nation.
However, it has been long over do since we have had a local salary increase negotiation for pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and other pharmacy personnel. The pharmacists and pharmacy technicians that make up this excellent team are among the lowest paid employees compared to staff holding similar positions at other notable hospitals and medical centers. Because of this, our employer’s wage retaining power is consistently eroding in comparison to other hospitals. While our pay has remained stagnant, pharmacy departments and their management at other hospitals have managed to sit down, negotiate and agree on a salary increase city-wide and within the League of Voluntary Hospital. It seems that our request for basic salary increases have fallen upon deaf ears.
BASICALLY: CURRENT SALARIES DO NOT COINCIDE WITH PRESENT DAY INFLATION!! IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE!!
We strongly believe that Pharmacy Management, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, and other pharmacy personnel should immediately arrange a meeting with VP and Apothocary-In-Chief Patrice Dupart, Site Director Vickie Powell, and 1199SEIU Contract Administrator Martha Reyes as soon as possible to further discuss and resolve this disparity. Please stand with us as we work hard to continue providing exemplary service at a pay structure to match our colleagues in the field.
"The increase will help us and our families by giving us the opportunity to save a little more to accomplish our financial goals and dreams"

standard of living is more than my wages. single income households are near impossible. with more wage stagnation the "American dream" is just a dream
I support this wage increase petition 150%! let your coworkers know, if they don't know already to support and sign this petition for a wage increase in the pharmacy department. It's time for a change! The wage increase will benefit us and our families. More importantly, it is long overdue. We work hard, we go above and beyond, and we are understaff. Not to mention, we give 110% to patient care. As employees of New York Presbyterian (NYP) we work hard to put NYP at number 1 in the metropolitan area and number 6 in the US. With that being said, at NYP Pharmacists are paid at number 11 and Pharmacy Technicians are paid at number 20 within the League Voluntary Hospitals. We need to come together and let NYP know, We are not a liability and what we are worth!
We need to stand up for what we are worth. Our contribution to patient safety is substantial and the hospital's compensation must be commensurate with our value.
For the sake of retention, it is important that the #1 hospital in NY and #6 hospital in the country offer competitive salaries and wages. We should not be #1 on the list of lowest paid staff as well. We should also stay vigilant about the wage increases for other locations moving forward.
This increase is more than overdue. The staff here works way above and beyond to make sure the patients interests are really placed first in ways the our Administration aren't even aware of.
its about time here at the allen we are a 4 star hospital
We need increased pay! Wages are not increasing alongside with increasing costs of living!
