The layoffs, which are scheduled for February, are due to the hospital’s decision to change vendors, according to the report.
SLU Hospital, which is part of Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare, has a contract with Philadelphia-based Aramark for housekeeping services. However, that contract is ending and SLU Hospital is contracting with a new vendor, Wayne, Pa.-based Crothall Healthcare.
SLU Hospital spokeswoman Laura Keller told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the housekeepers will have the option of applying for a job with Crothall Healthcare.
