BALTIMORE (AP) — Two thousand Johns Hopkins hospital employees from maintenance workers to housekeepers and kitchen staff are on strike after union leaders and officials failed to agree on a wage increase.

The union rejected the hospital’s final offer of $12 an hour Monday night. Workers went on strike Tuesday and will continue through Friday. The union wants $15 an hour for workers who have at least 15 years of experience.
