Mercy Health Workers Asking for Safer Conditions, More Money

MUSKEGON (WOOD-AM) - Mercy Health's union workers in Muskegon are demanding to get better working conditions and better pay as they remain in contract talks with Trinity Health.

They say, if they have no new deal by the end of the month, they will take action, though they stopped short of saying that they would strike.

"Every department I visit, every floor I float and every healthcare worker I encounter I see the same thing: exhaustion, burnout, trauma and stress," one worker said during a press event.

"Our negotiations are currently focused on non-economic items," a statement from the hospital said."Mercy Health Muskegon has openly expressed our desire to increase the pace of the current negotiations to also address economic items."
