| Laura Buenrostro, a registered nurse, is one of many workers seeking to form a union at Our Lady of the Resurrection Medical Center. |
Robert Malgieri of AFSCME Council 31 reports on Resurrection Health Care workers’ ongoing fight to form a union.
For 36 hours non-stop, Resurrection Health Care workers and their supporters kept a spirited vigil outside the giant health care system’s headquarters to press Resurrection to end its aggressive anti-union campaign and follow new guidelines for fair union organizing in Catholic hospitals.
Vigil participants came in waves beginning at 6 a.m. on Friday morning, Sept. 25, and continuing until 6 p.m. on Saturday evening, all the while holding candles, singing songs, joining in prayers led by area clergy and marching in processions.
