UW doctors clamor for better contract as they fight on the COVID-19 front lines
SEATTLE -- They are on the frontline of the COVID -19 pandemic, but UW resident physicians say they are struggling to make ends meet.

After 10 months of negotiating, UW Housestaff Association, the union representing 1,400 resident physicians and fellows, took out a full-page ad in the Sunday Seattle Times directed at UW Medicine's leader.
“We have felt like we needed to do something to get the attention of Dr. Paul Ramsey who is the CEO of UW Medicine and the dean of the School of Medicine,” said Dr. Kisha Clune, who is a resident physician at UW Medicine and a negotiator with UW Housestaff Association.
