Regular Freedom@Work readers may remember the Foundation's ongoing efforts helping nurses fight back against the California Nurses Association (CNA) union's coercive organizing drives at Houston and Philadelphia-area healthcare facilities.

Now an employee at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia has again stepped forward, filing unfair labor practice charges against Tenet Healthcare Corporation for giving CNA operatives preferential access to company property for the purposes of union organizing. Previous Foundation unfair labor practice charges also allege union organizers are engaging in illegal prerecognition bargaining: in exchange for company assistance, union officials may have agreed to terms and conditions of employment on behalf of workers they don't even have the power to represent yet.

Here's a copy of the Foundation's unfair labor practice charges (.pdf). And here's a link to the Foundation's video on coercive CNA organizing in Houston.
