After striking last month, nurses at HCA Healthcare have now received the go-ahead for a union election. Ballots were mailed out to HCA Healthcare Mission Health system in Asheville, NC on August 18th. The NLRB will determine the results of the secret ballot election on September 16. Mission Health is a seven-hospital health system with more than 12,000 employees.
Unionization efforts among healthcare workers found success elsewhere this month as well, as 700 nurses at West Penn Hospital in Bloomfield, IL voted to unionize.
