Norton to Rally with HHS Employees to Urge Leadership to Engage in Good-Faith Contract Negotiations, Today

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) will rally today, Thursday, October 25, 2018, at 12:30 p.m., in front of the Hubert H. Humphrey Building (200 Independence Ave. SW) with members of the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU), which represents employees at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to urge HHS leadership to return to the bargaining table and engage in good-faith contract negotiations with HHS employees.

"The dedicated employees at HHS provide some of the most essential services to the American people and deserve the right to bargain for a fair contract," Norton said. "Yet, HHS leadership has not even attempted to engage in good-faith negotiations. HHS leadership must end this self-imposed impasse and come to the negotiating table with HHS employees and their union. I will be there for NTEU and our HHS workers."
