Two unions, 1199SEIU and SEIU Local 200United, are representing about 2,000 workers at Strong Memorial Hospital and the University of Rochester’s River Campus; negotiations for their next contract has gone on since early August.
The nearly 50-person bargaining committee agreed to extend the labor deal, aiming to continue negotiations over wages and benefits. This stems from worker concerns over affordability, leading to demands for union rights.
The union said the university isn’t allowing neutrality; it would allow nurses, professionals, and other workers at the hospital to attain the same benefits as those in the professional homecare unit fought for in 2025.
This week, over 70,000 consumer directed personal assistants signed cards to join the union after employers agreed to neutrality.
The contract was supposed to expire Saturday before the unions and university agreed to the extension.
