So frustrated workers held an "informational picket" near the hospital Wednesday to draw attention to the fact the 600 workers still don't have a contract. 

The two sides have met forty times in the last year. 

St. Charles declined to provide hospital officials to disucss the picket, but did say in a statement they respect their caregivers and their right to be represented by a union.  They say they continue to bargain in good faith and look forward to meeting at the next bargaining session August 3rd.
