On Tuesday, October 8th, 2024, more than thirty members at Crothall Healthcare in Cape May Court House, New Jersey united to ratify a new union contract!

The four-year contract improves the lives of our members in various ways. First, all members will receive wage increases annually. Additionally, the longevity scale, which adds to a worker’s base pay according to years of service, was increased.

The company fought to begin cost-sharing, but through hard bargaining, the union negotiating committee managed to maintain free healthcare for these members for another four years!

Finally, the company agreed to mileage reimbursement for those using their personal vehicles for off-site work-related duties.

Congratulations to these members on a great win! This contract would not have been possible without our negotiating committee, which included VP/Union Representative Chad Brooks, Director of Field Services Peggy Kelly, and Shop Steward John McCabe.

UFCW Local 152 proudly represents over thirty members at Crothall Healthcare, a premier healthcare support service at Cooper University Hospital Cape Regional, another unionized facility represented by Local 152, in Cape May Court House, New Jersey. Our members work primarily in environmental services.
