NLRB decides in favor of Memorial workers; recap of employer objections hearing
After just four days of NLRB hearings, replete with conflicting witness accounts and relentless attempts to delay the inevitable the NLRB performed a lightning quick turn around on and dismissal of the unfair labor practices charges Memorial management filed.

Here's NUHW's recap of the hearing, and prospects on future actions. The most shocking part of this recap: the amount of money Memorial management spent on a very expensive expert witness testimony that failed to offer an opinion in management's favor. Image what that sum of money could have been better spent on. Oh, let me count the ways....
So perhaps not the last hurdle I had hoped it would be; however, when these hurdles are confronted they are easily cleared. I'm sure management is going to throw their own employees under the bus at every turn, by spending obscene amounts of cash to frustrate and delay the workers choice to unionize just so they can satisfy top management's need for ever bigger bonuses, dictatorial control, and downsizing in the name of "efficient" patient care. Stay strong fellow healthcare workers, you're almost at the end of this election dismissing nonsense!

This is a confusing post. The dismissal letter is for an ULP charge, not the Objections to the election. The Administrative Law Judge has not ruled on the Objections. Briefs are not due until 3/16.
ReplyDeleteThe NLRB made the right decision regarding Memorial. I agree with Melisa Bosanco that in the end the judge adjudicating this matter will find in favor of NUHW and the healthcare workers at Memorial. Memorial management is wasting money and obstructing workers and NUHW from bargaining their first contract.
