Hopkins Strike Off, For Now
Friday, June 27, 2014(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
The 4-day strike by service workers at Johns Hopkins Hospital planned to
start Friday at 6a was called off after Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley called
1199 SEIU MD/DC and Hopkins management on Thursday and asked both sides to agree
to a cooling-off period and go back to bargaining. “Having the governor
intervene like this is a big deal,” the union said on its Facebook page.
“We'll take the strength from our strike vote back to the bargaining table and
work to settle a contract that benefits the whole Hopkins community.” Click
