Providence Memorial Nurses Challenge Corrupt Agreement between California Union and Hospital

Nurses who oppose forced unionization of workplace suffer from viewpoint discrimination

El Paso, TX (October 3, 2012) – With free legal assistance from the National Right to Work Foundation, an El Paso nurse filed federal charges against a California-based nurse union and Providence Memorial Hospital for enacting a secret deal that gives union organizers preferential access to the facility.

Nurse Perry Pielaet filed the charges with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) regional office in Phoenix.

California Nurses Association-affiliated National Nurses Organizing Committee (NNOC) union officials entered into a “neutrality agreement” with Providence Memorial Hospital and its parent company, Tenet Healthcare Corporation, designed to grease the skids for the nurses’ unionization.
