Union workers protest at Jefferson for fair contracts

POSTED: Friday, June 22, 2012, 3:47 PM

This Saturday at noon, members of District 1199C of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees, plan to rally outside Jefferson Hospital to protest for fair contracts for hospital and health care workers. Jefferson and affiliated hospitals around the city including Hahnemann, Temple and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia have sought to reduce some workers' pay by $5 to $7 per hour. Union workers tell CP they also fear that new contracts will include more expensive health insurance premiums and fewer sick days. Negotiations are ongoing but the current contracts will expire on July 1; workers have agreed to strike if a new contract is not reached by then.

    Remember, it's "for the children".
