Three hundred union members will work under a new contract at the South Williamson Appalachian Regional Healthcare facility that was ratified this week. Members of the United Steelworkers have ratified a new three-year contract with the nonprofit health system. The vote at the South Williamson hospital was the closest in the system with the contract passing by the narrow margin of 105 to 101. The contract covers more than 2,300 union workers in a variety of occupations, including clerical, housekeeping, maintenance, dietary, nursing, laboratory, respiratory, and radiology. The contract is effective April 1. Appalachian Regional Healthcare operates nine hospitals in West Virginia and Kentucky. The health system also operates physician practices, home health agencies, HomeCare Stores and retail pharmacies.
