Detroit Nurses Want End To Management Interference In Union Organizing - 10/19/07

By Doug Cunningham

Nurses at Detroit Medical Center are in a union organizing effort as management conducts and anti-union campaign. Registered Nurse Hazel Stewart
says nurses want a voice in staffing and other patient care issues and they want the respect on the job that forming a union will provide.

[Stewart]: "I would like for management to respect our wishes, to stand aside and let us continue with the union organizing and not interfere so that we can get back to what's most important - and that's patient care."

Six hundred nurses at Detroit Medical Center are attempting to join the Michigan Nurses Association.
