"The nurses, who organized their union in SEIU Healthcare 1199NW in July 2019, are calling for increased staffing; reinstating the charge nurse on every unit so nurses are supported in taking care of patients; a nurse staffing committee to give nurses a voice in staffing decisions throughout KRH/Logan Health; and improvements to wages and benefits that will recruit and retain nurses to stay and work in the Flathead Valley. While administrators at Logan Health say they do not have the resources to make these investments in frontline staff, they have put time and money into acquiring new facilities and launching an expensive rebranding initiative."
Ok, now that sheds a bit more light on the subject. From a union standpoint, what bothers me the most is the last sentence.
"they have put time and money into acquiring new facilities and launching an expensive rebranding initiative."
Wrong time to go SEIU and strike. Bigtime!
