Nearly 1,000 registered nurses at a Pittsburgh hospital will vote on joining a union starting Aug. 19, according to a decision from that region’s National Labor Relations Board office earlier this month. The vote, which runs through August 23, will determine whether nurses at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Magee-Womens Hospital join SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania.
The campaign galvanized significant local support, including an effort by local officials to gather complaints about union busting from residents.
