Union And ARH Negotiations Continue
KENTUCKY...
Contract negotiations continue between Appalachian Regional Healthcare and the United Steelworkers Union. The parties have been meeting in Lexington. The hope is to effect a renewal of the existing contract for another three years. United Steelworkers requested to hold two seats on the ARH board of trustees. They also asked for a freeze in wages and medical insurance. According to ARH officials, union members rejected the hospital's most recent proposal. Both parties seem commited to continuing the negotiations until an agreement is reached.
