WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) - The union representing nurses at a
northeastern Pennsylvania hospital has filed unfair labor practice complaints
against the hospital with the federal government.
The Pennsylvania Association of Staff Nurses and Allied
Professionals represents 460 registered nurses at Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital.
The union filed complaints with the National Labor Relations
Board alleging that the hospital failed to provide needed information about
wages, benefits, overtime and staffing. Officials also accuse the hospital of
preventing the union from distributing information to the public.
A hearing on the complaints is scheduled July 14 in
Philadelphia.
The hospital said it is negotiating in good faith and
remains committed to the bargaining process.
The two sides have been negotiating since February 2013. The
last contract expired a year ago. The nurses conducted an informational picket
last month.
