The new, three-year contract includes 7% raises for union members.
Dozens of Howard Brown Health workers and supporters strike on Jan. 3, 2023, outside Howard Brown Health Clinic on North Sheridan Road in Chicago. After a year and a half of negotiations and two strikes, a union representing 360 workers at Howard Brown has approved its first contract with the health care provider.
The new, three-year contract includes 7% raises for union members, a new minimum wage of $19.23 for workers, health insurance for part-time employees and two weeks of paid leave for gender affirming care, among other things, according to the union. “Hopefully this contract marks the beginning of an improved relationship between leadership and staff, along with more equitable and livable working conditions from the clinics to the Brown Elephant stores,” said bargaining committee member Olivia Prager in a news release.
