The hospital’s roughly 2,000 workers represented by 1199 SEIU nearly went on strike last week until Gov. Martin O’Malley intervened and brokered a one-week cooling off period between Johns Hopkins Hospital and the union.
Johns Hopkins is “continuing to negotiate in good faith to reach a settlement that’s fair to everyone and reflects financial responsibility on the part of the hospital,” the hospital said in a statement, according to WBALTV.
The sticking issue during contract negotiations between the two groups is wages, as they have yet to agree on a minimum wage level.
