Last week, CIR physicians from Jefferson Health, Temple Health, and Jefferson Health – Einstein met with more than 20 elected officials from across Greater Philadelphia to discuss our fight for fair first contracts and ensuring sustainable care for our communities.
As the doctors providing the majority of care in our city’s hospitals, our well-being is tied to the health of all Philadelphians. But after months of bargaining, too many of us are still struggling to get by with our current pay and working conditions while regularly working 80+ hours a week.
We know that there is power in numbers and our hospitals cannot run without us, so let’s be very clear: we care deeply about our patients + this city, and won’t stop fighting until we win the fair contracts that both we and Philly communities deserve! 💪 💜
