MWHC Contract Logs 2025

On Tuesday, June 17, 2025, we reached a tentative agreement on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (Contract) with the MedStar Washington Hospital Center. The next step is for you to vote on whether or not to accept the tentative agreement.

The meeting to do this will be held on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, in the True Auditorium from 6:30 am to 7:00 pm. Come on break time or off time only. Off-site locations times to be determined.

During the entire negotiations, we have been posting all of the proposals from us and MWHC on our website, seiu722.org. Many of you have been following the negotiations on this site. For those of you who have not been able to follow the negotiations, and as an update, the following is a list of the issues that have been tentatively agreed upon:

New Section 4.4(a) – Additional Hours

If the Hospital does not follow the contractual language for overtime (Article 4.4) to also include additional hours, the associate required to work shall be paid time and a half (1½) for the additional hours worked beyond their originally scheduled shift on that date, regardless of if the employee does not work over forty (40) hours in a workweek.

Appearance Fee (New Language)

If an associate reports to work as scheduled and his/her home unit is flexing due to low census or lack of work within the associate’s first four (4) hours of their scheduled shift, the Hospital will reassign the associate to another unit or department where they can perform tasks within their skills and abilities to guarantee the associate at least four (4) hours of work. The associate will have the option of accepting the reassignment for the remainder of their shift, or use PTO for the remainder, or go unpaid for the remainder.

4.12 – Preceptor/Trainer Pay

The Hospital will provide associates additional pay of $1.25 per hour for functioning in a preceptor or trainer role, regardless of the job classification.

14.18 – Job Posting

Vacant positions will be posted online only.
