- Registered nurses at Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital in Baltimore, Md. have filed unfair labor practice charges against Ascension Health, one of the largest nonprofit Catholic hospital chains in the country, claiming management has violated labor law by refusing to respect the nurses’ right to organize, announced National Nurses Organizing Committee/National Nurses United (NNOC/NNU).
- According to nurses, Ascension is employing unlawful tactics to undermine their unionizing campaign, including threats, intimidation, and illegal surveillance.
- On Sept. 27 Saint Agnes nurses filed charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) alleging that management’s tactics to interfere with their efforts to unionize are illegal.
- The charges will lead to a federal investigation into the hospital’s conduct related to the organizing campaign.
