Over 2,200 Workers Demand Better Wages and Working Conditions

CHICAGO, April 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Workers at University of Chicago Medical Center (UCMC), represented by Teamsters Local 743, will hold a prayer vigil on Thursday, April 9, at 3 p.m. to bring awareness to their ongoing fight for a fair contract. Teamsters members will be joined by religious leaders, community activists, and labor allies who will lead them in prayer.

UCMC President Thomas Jackiewicz earned $3.8 million in total compensation in 2024, while this hospital's management continues to refuse a living wage to its hardworking staff. With cost of living in the Chicago area continuing to rise, Local 743 members are simply fighting for their fair share.
