YNHH Union Election Cancelled Arbitrator Rules YNHH Management Violated Election Agreement and the Law Last spring, YNHH signed an Election Principles Agreement with SEIU/1199, allowing workers to form a union free of intimidation, threats and coercion by management. On December 13, 2006, an independent arbitrator ruled that the Hospital violated this agreement and broke the law by allowing managers to initiate mandatory anti-union meetings with employees, threaten employees with loss of pay, benefits, and even their jobs, and lie about dues, strikes and other union activities. For CORD, the union agreement was just one piece of a Community Benefits Agreement with YNHH. Members of our organization, along with many local and state elected leaders, have publicly censured YNHH and its interference with a free election process. We are working hard to ensure that YNHH will honor the CBA and its pact with the greater New Haven community. To read the arbitrator's ruling, click here. |
