Hospital systems workers at Children’s National Medical Center on July 1st ratified a new three year contract. SEIU Local 722 President Daniel Fields called it “a very good contract.” The local’s 1,281 members will receive an 8% wage increase over three years and other benefits effective immediately. Membership participation in "Color Days" where members wore matching colors to work “played an important part” in winning the deal, said Fields.
