against Legacy Hospital

|
|
Employees' right to organize violated
The National Labor Relations Board, Region 19 has issued a complaint (click here to read the legal document) against Legacy Hospital accusing Legacy administrators of discouraging union organizing among Registered Nurses. Officials from American Federation of Teachers-Healthcare Northwest filed charges with the NLRB in May 2008 after several incidents at the hospital.
 | On May 16, 2008 an email was sent to Legacy nurses informing them that they were prohibited from talking about their union, AFT Healthcare Northwest, except in break rooms. |
| At the same time administrators at both Good Samaritan and Emanuel were urging nurses to call security if they were approached by anyone seeking their signature for union representation. |
| Two nurses were threatened with arrest in the break rooms when they asked fellow nurses to sign a petition for recognition of the union. |

"A friendly reminder to staff of the National Labor Relations Board: your agency exists to protect the interests of workers -- not the employers who break the law."
