Ooops they did it again...UPMC post record profits

Pittsburgh nurses are headed for meager times when UPMC takes control of all of Pittsburgh healthcare. Pittsburgh is known for poor pay and respect for nurses, but UPMC will gladly keep our pay well below national average to boost their bottom line.
As far as Pittsburgh gov't being interested in some of UPMC's money they need to get their own houses in order (ie eliminate all the curruption and fraud) before they scream about needing more money. My two cents as a UPMC employee.

I would hedge to guess though like everything else nursing there is heavily unionized. So if the wages and respect for nurses is so low don't they- you have only yourselves to blame.

UPMC nurses: are any UPMC facilities unionized other than Western Psychiatric Institute? The only other Pittsburgh-area hospitals that are unionized, to my knowledge, are Allegheny General and Canonsburg (both WPAHS facilities), Butler Memorial, and The Medical Center in Beaver (part of Heritage Valley). I may be wrong.

Nursing is not heavily unionized in Pittsburgh ... go figure.
