Members voted to authorize a strike after filing more than two dozen unfair labor practice charges.
The hospital says it plans to continue negotiations but the union says it has engaged in union busting and retaliation.
“I am striking for change,” said Cleveland Clinic Lutheran Hospital menu specialist Tajuana Johnson. “Not only for myself but for my coworkers and those who will come behind me. If I don't work any overtime my pay will not cover my household expenses. Inflation has risen and my pay remains the same.”
Union caregivers voted at the end of July to authorize a ULP strike against Cleveland Clinic. Organizers say they’ve been “fighting for a fair contract” since early April but have made little progress working with hospital leadership. A press release from the caregivers’ union alleges that Cleveland Clinic discriminates against some of the lowest paid caregivers–who are predominantly women and people of color–by denying them employer-paid disability coverage, maternity and parental leave, 403 retirement security and requiring they work more hours to be eligible for hospital benefits than their other workers.
