Pennsylvania Healthcare Contracts Bring Big Gains

When you or a loved one spends time in a rehabilitation center or healthcare facility you entrust their care to professionals like the members of Local 108. In order to provide the same level of care and compassion for their patients they cannot worry about their paychecks, their own healthcare or providing for their own families — that’s why having a strong union contract is so important! Healthcare workers can only provide the care their patients need when they are taken care of as well. Local 108 members in Pennsylvania recently ratified new contracts that go beyond those basics and reward their years of service and will also help them provide better care for their residents. The new contracts cover three different workplaces in the Keystone State: Silverlake Health Care Center, Tremont Rehabilitation Center, and Pembrooke Rehabilitation Center. Workers are excited to have won contracts with solid wage increases that maintain members’ union health and welfare coverage, which is critical in this industry.

Employees at Pembrooke Rehabilitation Center were among the Local 108 members at three Pennsylvania facilities to win new contracts.
