IOWA CITY, Iowa - Contract talks between University of Iowa Health Care and its union workers continue Wednesday.
It ll be the third bargaining session between the two parties, and the first behind closed doors.
The union says the hospital has fallen short in negotiating differences so far.
It wants a pay increase for nurses and staff, claiming they make less than workers at similar hospitals. The union also says turnover at the hospital doubled in 2020 during the pandemic.
The medical center has been a major player in research and testing for vaccines now being used across the country.
