Johns Hopkins resumes talks with union over wages

BALTIMORE (AP) — A union representing 2,000 workers at Johns Hopkins Hospital is in negotiations with the medical institution over workers’ wages after Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley stepped in to stop a planned four-day strike.

Talks between the union and the hospital resumed Tuesday after a previous round of negotiations stalled last week when the medical institution and the union failed to agree on a minimum wage for all Hopkins workers, with the union pushing for $14 an hour and the medical institution settling on $12.25.
