Facts about District 1199E-DC SEIU at The Johns Hopkins Hospital
- There are approximately 1,700 employees of the Hospital who are members of the Union, 21 percent of an approximate total of 8,000 Hospital employees. The Collective Bargaining Agreement mostly covers service and maintenance employees, including environmental service workers, facilities maintenance workers, nutrition workers, nursing assistants, support associates and nursing aides, nursing clerical associates, linen workers, distribution transport aides, supply assistants, etc.
- The Collective Bargaining Agreement does not cover physicians, registered nurses, supervisors, professional staff members, technicians and most other nursing and non-nursing support jobs. District 1199E-DC has no members at any other Hopkins affiliate or institution including the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Bayview Medical Center, or Howard County General Hospital. These groups are separate entities and are not involved in these negotiations.
- Greater Baltimore Medical Center and Sinai Hospital are negotiating new contracts with the Union during this time period as well.
While the goal is to assure a good contract without a strike, Hopkins has taken steps to ensure that our patients and their families will, in the event of a strike, continue to receive the same high quality medical care that has characterized Hopkins for more than a century. In the event of a Union work stoppage, Hopkins will be fully prepared to operate all essential services.
