Children's Hospital Workers OK New Pact

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

Hospital workers at the Children's National Medical Center overwhelmingly approved a new 3-year contract on July 6. The new pact provides 1,000 members of SEIU 722 with 3% raises each year and “cleared up time and attendance issues,” reports Local 722 President Dan Fields. The local represents service and technical workers, including respiratory therapists, dietary and clerical staff.
