A regional labor arbiter previously suspended for fundraising with labor unions is forcing Pennsylvania hospital workers to join a union, sparking protest from a group of employees.
Dennis Walsh, the regional director for the National Labor Relations Board's fourth district, approved a request to roll 160 non-union nurses, technical workers, and other employees at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Schuylkill East into Service Employees International Union Healthcare Pennsylvania, which represents workers at the Lehigh Valley Hospital-Schuylkill South.
The SEIU asked the agency to declare all workers at the non-union facility to be unionized after the hospital network allowed union employees to transfer there. Walsh used the doctrine of accretion in which non-union employees bearing "little or no separate group identity" from a company's unionized workforce are absorbed into a union without a traditional secret ballot election or card-check campaign.

Damn unions. They fight for workers rights and help provide a good middle wage income. Disgusting
ReplyDelete2:34 PM Not always. And is that before or after they line their pockets with employees hard earned money?
ReplyDeleteUnion are simply a slush fund for the Democratic Party,. They get the money and the union rep gets a free ticket to Las Vegas once a year for their 'hard work'. At least this is how AFSME works.
ReplyDeleteUnion dues buys no shoes.
