Registered nurses are hailing the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) Office of General Counsel's decision to move forward with a complaint against healthcare giant Community Health Systems and Quorum Health Corporation for numerous alleged labor violations.
"We welcome this new complaint and are particularly glad that the NLRB will be holding Quorum Health Corporation accountable for labor violations at the hospitals that it now owns," said Amy Pulley, an RN at Affinity Medical Center in Massillon, Ohio. "CHS has repeatedly demonstrated that it has no respect for the law. With this complaint the NLRB is sending the message that the parent company of these hospitals will be held accountable, even if they are a new owner.”
