The first contract to be negotiated since members regained the right to strike contains the biggest raises in a generation.

1,100 hospital workers at Legacy Emanuel and Good Samaritan were set to walk out July 15; instead they ratified a five-year contract.

A day after the lopsided vote to reject SPCO’s offer, a competing contractor group offered $4.30 an hour over the same time frame.

After weeks of escalating strike action, Painters Local 10 reached a deal that if ratified will raise compensation by $3.50 to $4 an hour.

Journeyman roofers in Local 49 will earn a $37.73 wage as of July 1, plus $19.23 in fringe benefits like health and pension.

Though their contracts aren’t up til September, all five unionized nursing home chains have agreed to raise CNA starting wages to $18+.

The City’s proposed raise jumped from 1% to 9% after public protests and support from hundreds of locals and IBEW members in the region.
