June 9 St. Luke's Negotiations Update

The union contract negotiations for the St. Luke's hospital tech workers contract kicked off without a hitch on June 5. There was a lot of discussion over the initial non-economic proposals by the union and company. Among the items discussed was contact language governing low need days, attendance, changes in job duties and descriptions, and changes to work schedules. However nothing major has been agreed to on any of these. The negotiations will continue at the next scheduled session on June 19. We hope to have more to report after that session.
