NLRB Board Certifies Union Election of St. Mary’s Hospital Nurses in Madison
The board rejected SSM Health’s objections after nurses voted 574-63 to unionize, leaving charge nurse eligibility unresolved.
- On Wednesday, the National Labor Relations Board certified the union election for nurses at SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital in Madison, overruling objections filed by the employer.
- Nurses at the hospital voted 574-63 in June to unionize with the Service Employees International Union, seeking to address staffing, burnout, and compensation concerns.
- The NLRB overruled the employer's objections in their entirety, finding the proof offered was "insufficient to sustain" allegations that electioneering or procedural issues disrupted the results.
- While the election is certified, the board has not yet ruled on the eligibility of eighty-three charge nurses, whom SSM argues hold supervisory roles and should be excluded.
- Zach Zahalka, a cardiac catheterization lab nurse at St. Mary's, urged SSM to "respect our union vote" and engage on solutions for staffing and patient care.
