Saint Mary-Corwin Workers Vote to Keep Their Union

Workers at Saint Mary-Corwin Hospital in Pueblo, Co., have beaten a decertification drive .

In an NLRB election, employees voted 161-82 to remain represented by CWA. This group has been represented by CWA since the 1970s.

The election was delayed by nearly a year while the hospital appealed a 2012 NLRB ruling that found the hospital guilty of unfair labor practices. Management aggressively and repeatedly tried to convince workers that they would be better off without a union, but workers weren't fooled.
