Joint Unions Tell KHMH Staff To Take Heart

Last week, the strike at the KHMH was all the news - and, today, the Unions Negotiating Team, which secured the raise for teachers and public officers - says it, quote, "empathizes with our fellow workers at the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital." Their advice to the KHMH is to come up with a "negotiated formula" for a salary adjustment. The Joint Unions say in their statement that they are willing to assist in the process. What the statement does not say is if their members - namely eight thousand public officers - are willing to see the discontinuation of the practice where they get to pay two dollars a day for hospitalization.
