Sen. Edward Markey and a group of Democratic lawmakers are urging the U.S. Department of Labor to ensure that workers at hospitals owned by Steward Health Care receive their health care and retirement benefits, as the company plans to sell off its hospitals after filing for bankruptcy protection. The lawmakers are concerned about the financial uncertainty and anxiety workers face, with delayed paychecks and potential interruptions in benefits. They are calling for measures to safeguard workers' rights during the bankruptcy process and potential facility closures or buyouts.
