Worksite Spotlight: Boston Children’s Hospital

Boston Children’s Hospital has been ranked as the country’s best pediatric hospital for nine years in a row, and Local 877 is proud to play a role in that success.

45 members of our union are employed at the hospital, ensuring it runs smoothly by handling general maintenance, taking care of the grounds, and keeping essential HVAC equipment running. When working in a busy environment like a hospital, our team has to be readily available when the staff needs work handled promptly.

Working at a hospital also means our team has to be constantly mindful of our surroundings. For example, our members are often required to go into a patient’s room to fix a problem, so we must ensure the patient’s safety as well as our own. Caring for a child at a hospital is a difficult time for families and staff. Local 877 is proud to work hard every day to ensure comfort and peace of mind for these young patients so they can focus on getting better and getting home.
