Four nurses at St. Mercy Medical Center in Toledo, Ohio have filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board. Their complaint, filed in Cleveland, alleges violations by the United Auto Workers regarding union dues.
The NLRB is now investigating the complaint, which may be sent to an administrative law judge.
More than 2,500 nurses and other staff at the hospital are members of the UAW.
This is another example of the rising level of worker dissatisfaction with union representation and the use of union dues for purposes that do not meet with the approval of union members.
