Hospital honors role of members

“It’s nice to know that we’re appreciated,” said Shop Steward Gail Fishbein, a Dental Hygienist, as Brooklyn’s Woodhull Medical Center celebrated its 2nd annual Labor Appreciation Day, Sept. 11.

“It is important for both labor and management to understand and salute the role our members play in providing top quality health care at Woodhull and in every hospital,” said DC 37 Field Services Director Barbara Ingram-Edmonds.

Members of a dozen locals, including DC 37 Locals 420, 768, 2627, 1549 and 371, attended the ceremony, which was sponsored by the Labor Caucus of the Joint Labor Management Committee, DC 37 and its parent union AFSCME and the HHC/QWL Productivity Committee.

“Today we recognize your hard work and dedication to the North Brooklyn Health Network, its patients and the community we serve,” said Senior Vice President Lynda D. Curtis.
