FILE - In this May 19, 2005 file photo, construction workers work on part of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. A union for more than 2,000 people who clean the hospital is negotiating for a new contract. The union has already held one short strike, although a four-day walkout was avoided in late June 2014 when both sides heeded Democratic Gov. Martin O'Malley's call for a one-week cooling off period. That's led the parties back to the bargaining table. (AP Photo/Chris Gardner, File)
