HAZARD, Ky. (AP) - Negotiators reached a tentative, three-year
contract agreement between Appalachian Regional Healthcare and the
United Steelworkers.
Joe Worthington is chief negotiator for A-R-H. He says the hospital believes it is a balanced contract.
About 2,400 employees are covered under the contract. Union officials are to give their members details of the tentative agreement and a vote is expected to follow.
Workers went on strike April 1 due to disagreements on wages and health care costs.
The steelworkers union represents about 60 percent of ARH's 4,600 employees in eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia.
