cincinnati-based catholic healthcare partners, which operates health-care facilities in ohio, indiana, kentucky, pennsylvania and tennessee, reached an agreement with the union to allow votes this months at its hospitals in cincinnati, springfield and lima, ohio, according to a report in the lima news....
"there will be absolutely no campaigning by either side. the letter that went out to employees on friday was a joint letter signed by both parties. and the primary focuses from our side in doing this are, no. 1, our employees will have a chance to voice their opinions on whether or not they want to join a union. and two, the 'no campaigning by either side' makes sure that patient care is not compromised in any way as we participate in this election," he said.
a spokeswoman for seiu district 1199 said the voting will take place among six working groups in each hospital - registered nurses, professionals, technical staff, clerical staff, maintenance workers and support workers. each will vote separately on whether or not to join the union.
