FMCS STATEMENT ON THE TENTATIVE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NEW YORK STATE NURSES
ASSOCIATION (NYSNA) AND THE NYC HOSPITAL ALLIANCE

Date: 6/18/15

WASHINGTON, D.C.–Allison Beck, Acting Director of the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service (FMCS), today announced that with the assistance of Federal
mediators, a tentative settlement has been reached between the New York State
Nurses Association (NYSNA) and the New York City Hospital Alliance, representing
major medical facilities in the city of New York.

Bargaining under the auspices of FMCS mediators, including FMCS Acting Director
Allison Beck, Deputy Director Scot Beckenbaugh, and Commissioner Cynthia
Jeffries, the nurses’ union and hospital group reached a tentative agreement
after many hours of intense talks early today.

Ms. Beck commended the work of FMCS Deputy Director Beckenbaugh and Commissioner
Jeffries for their roles in helping the nurses’ union and hospital group
overcome major differences at the bargaining table. “We are gratified that our
team of mediators was able to provide assistance in these challenging and
complex negotiations,” Ms. Beck said. “Ultimately, it was perseverance and hard
work by the nurses and hospital management that enabled them to reach
agreement.”

The tentative agreement is subject to ratification. As is Agency practice, the
FMCS will not comment on the substance or content of the agreement or
negotiation.

FMCS MEDIATORS ASSIST DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND INDUSTRY GROUPS ESTABLISH
GROUNDBREAKING ENERGY SAVING STANDARDS

Date: 6/30/2015

WASHINGTON, DC—In what has been hailed as the biggest energy-saving standards
rulemaking in Department of Energy history, the Federal Mediation and
Conciliation Service (FMCS) assisted industry, government and advocacy groups to
achieve major new consensus energy standards for commercial heating and air
conditioning equipment. These standards could save nearly 15 quadrillion BTUs
(quads) of energy over 30 years and reduce energy consumption and costs by
billions of dollars over the lifespan of the equipment.

FMCS Acting Director Allison Beck commended FMCS mediators Eileen Hoffman,
Javier Ramirez, Ted Bantle and Isael Hermosillo for facilitating the rulemaking
process. “This is a huge accomplishment with far-reaching benefits for our
country and its future. The parties dedicated themselves to a collaborative
rulemaking process, and we are proud that our mediators were able to help them
achieve an extraordinary result.”

While FMCS is known for its distinguished work in the field of labor-management
mediation and conflict resolution, the Agency also has a rich history of
facilitating collaborative decision-making processes. The Administrative Dispute
Resolution and Negotiated Rulemaking Acts of 1990 designated FMCS as a key
provider of dispute resolution services to other federal, state, and local
government agencies recognizing FMCS’s expertise and ability to reduce costs
through the expanded use of alternative dispute resolution processes throughout
government.

MCS CONGRATULATES BOTH SIDES IN FINAL SETTLEMENT FOR RHODE ISLAND PENSION CASE

Date: 7/1/2015

WASHINGTON, DC—U.S. Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) Acting
Director Allison Beck congratulated Rhode Island state officials and union
negotiators on the implementation of a settlement agreement to Rhode Island’s
longstanding public employee pension dispute.

Ms Beck led a team of FMCS mediators who worked with the parties to craft a
settlement agreement last year that provided the foundation for resolving the
statewide pension dispute. Provisions of the negotiated agreement are part of
the Rhode Island state budget signed into law on June 30, 2015 by Governor
Raimondo and are to be implemented with the state’s new fiscal year.
“On behalf of the FMCS mediators who assisted in this important negotiation, we
are gratified that the dedication and hard work of the retiree and union
negotiating teams, and by the negotiators for the Administration and the
Treasurer’s office in this complex and lengthy process have achieved a
successful resolution. Their professionalism and perseverance were the keys to
ultimately gaining a consensual resolution to what had been an intractable legal
dispute. I especially want to commend FMCS Boston and Providence mediators,
Commissioners Josh Flax and Joseph Kelleher, for their tireless assistance to
the parties. Theirs was a tremendous effort, and they have my personal thanks as
well.”
