Bullying of Nurses Not Unnoticed?

As is normally the case when union officials fear losing a secret ballot election, the UAW walked away from an election at Toledo Hospital.

Perhaps hospital employees have been paying attention to the uphill battle that nurses at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo have faced in ridding their workplace of the unwanted union.

In the run up to that election, in charges that were settled after Right to Work attorneys came to the nurses' aid, the NLRB agreed to prosecute the UAW union for bullying dissenting nurses including “following, surrounding, and impeding access to employees." The complaint also cited that in one instance a union operative physically “struck a clipboard containing the petition” from one of the nurse’s hands.

Adding insult to injury, these same nurses must still pay dues to the UAW union as a condition of employment since Ohio is not a Right to Work state.
