Northwestern Failing to Lead on Wages
By Neal
Northwestern claims they are the leading hospital for wages and benefits, but that’s just not true. Despite having $12.5 BILLION in assets, Northwestern’s starting wages are lower than starting wages at Mt. Sinai, a safety net hospital with far fewer resources.
NORTHWESTERN IS:
FAILING to lead on wages and benefits
FAILING to hire and retain employees
FAILING to invest in workers
IS your department short-staffed right now? There’s a reason. When Northwestern does manage to hire people, it doesn’t take them long to realize paying for health insurance and parking takes too much of their paychecks and leave. We live with the results of high turnover and so many open positions. If Northwestern wants to be a place people want to work, they have to invest in us, the people doing the work.”
