Here's an update on the unionizing of St. Joseph's hospital chain which we posted about a couple days ago:
"The National Labor Relations Board has charged St. Joseph’s Health System (SJHS) with multiple violations of federal law in its resistance to SEIU’s efforts to organize over 9000 workers at the California-based hospital chain. The NLRB charges come on the heels of increasing national attention to the struggle, which pits the Mothers of the Sisters of St. Joseph or Orange--once strong allies of the United Farm Workers of America--against workers seeking to unionize and UFW alumni involved on their side..."
That's from an article by Randy Shaw on BeyondChron, San Francisco's Alternative paper. Lots of details and history on this interesting story.
