ACMH Hospital and its newest union reached an agreement to provide about 120 employees back pay and wage hikes last week, avoiding a federal labor law violation hearing.
The East Franklin hospital agreed to make back payments between $800 and $1,000 to members of its Licensed Practical Nurses and Technicians Union, along with a 2 percent wage increase.
The payments are compensation for lost wages dating back to Dec. 21, when administrators halted raises, said union spokesman Curtis Dahn.
“This is a step in the right direction and it's making our employees whole again,” Dahn said, noting the union has been without a contract since August 2014. “The employees were given their pay Wednesday.”
