Hospital workers reach contract

Posted: July 02, 2012

Representatives of District 1199C of the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees said they reached a tentative contract agreement with Thomas Jefferson University Hospital at 1 a.m. Sunday, an hour after the previous contract expired.

The Thomas Jefferson deal was the last of 14 reached by the union with four major Philadelphia hospitals and 10 nursing homes in the region.

Ratification votes on the six-year contracts, which include annual wage increases, are scheduled for Sunday.
