The strike in front of the University of Illinois College of Medicine is in it's second week.
SEIU Local Union 73 has been out there for two weeks.
They represent a variety of healthcare positions.
Those picketing said especially during a pandemic, corporations should value those on the front lines.
Workers are asking for fair wages, respect, and diversity.
"Nurses can't do anything without a uni-clerk or dietary person. I can't do anything without my receptionist. I can't do certain things without my clinic people I work with like our nurses. Everything is a whole. We understand that we need to respect that," said union member Nicole Lovingood.
The union said some progress has been made.
Four different contracts are being negotiated for the different locations of SEIU workers.
