Hartford Healthcare in Connecticut Files Labor Charge Against Union Workers
As they address labor charges filed by the two Windham Community Memorial Hospital unions, Hartford HealthCare officials recently filed a charge against union workers with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB).
In their charge, Hartford HealthCare ( HHC) claimed that Windham Hospital colleagues recently complained to management about union officers threatening them with job loss and other consequences if they exercised their ” legal right” to cross the picket line to care for patients during a union strike.
” It is unlawful for the union to threaten and coerce employees in this way and the hospital filed a very specific unfair labor practice charge against the union relating to this conduct,” Windham Hospital President Donna Handley said in a statement.
