Over 3,000 Workers Demand Fair Contracts
Workers at Rush University Medical Center and University of Chicago Medical Center, represented by Teamsters Local 743, will hold a press conference on Saturday, Jan. 10, at 3 p.m. to discuss ongoing negotiations at both hospitals and raise awareness about these employers’ unwillingness to negotiate a contract that ensures these hardworking Teamsters jobs reflect current industry standards.
