Rush University IT Workers Demand Contract Negotiations

These technicians maintain the critical network infrastructure that supports daily hospital operations and patient care. Despite voting to unionize two years ago, the staff remains without an agreement, prompting this public demonstration to pressure TEK Systems. The union members are calling for fair wage adjustments, improved workplace protections, and a formal commitment to the bargaining process.

The press conference is scheduled for 12 p.m. at the intersection of W Harrison St and S Paulina St. The presence of city leadership underscores the growing friction between the contracted workforce and the firm responsible for the hospital's technical systems.
