Johns Hopkins hospital is still refusing to meet 1199 SEIU’s demand that wages for 2,000 workers at the hospital be raised to $15 an hour for workers with at least 15 years experience. The union averted a planned strike by agreeing to a cooling off period and another bargaining session after the intervention of Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley. The union says the latest Johns Hopkins hospital offer would still leave many workers relying on food stamps, Medicaid and other public assistance because of their low wages. No new bargaining sessions are scheduled for now.
