A group of nurses who want to unionize say they will picket outside next week’s U-W Health Board meeting Thursday.
They say they will conduct an informational picket for safe staffing, quality care, and a union. The nurses say they have been called essential heroes, but the hospital doesn’t try to retain them or include them in meaningful decision-making on issues that matter to them.
They say they have suffered from extreme physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion during the pandemic.
They say 1500 nurses have signed cards demanding union recognition and U-W Health hasn’t responded.
