Unions Accuse UPMC of Wielding Market Power Against Workers
June 9, 2023

UPMC, a large hospital employer based in Pittsburgh, stands accused of using its market power to harm workers by a coalition of labor groups. A complaint has been filed with the Justice Department claiming that UPMC creates a “wage penalty” through its local market domination, leading to lower wages for workers. The coalition also cites violations in labor laws that prevent employees from improving working conditions or even leaving their positions to pursue better opportunities. UPMC is Pennsylvania’s largest private employer with over 40 hospitals, generating over $26 billion in revenue last year, and employing approximately 95,000 people. Federal regulators, including the Justice Department, have shown an increased willingness to investigate the effects of market power on workers.
