DENVER â Dozens of Mental Health Center of Denver employees, alongside fellow members of Service Employees International Union Local 105, held a rally Saturday afternoon, demanding MHCD agrees to a contract with better pay and benefits. Mental health right now is a really serious problem, and it s a problem for us as workers as well. We re tired, we re burnt out, we re overworked and underpaid. We re underappreciated, MHCD license clinical social worker Hillary Haspel said.
She s on the bargaining team, fighting for a wage scale and hazard pay, among other things. The contract between the union and the company ended on Jan. 1. Negotiations have been ongoing since October 2020.
