The union representing nurses at Riverside Community Hospital has been ordered to pay more than $6 million to the hospital in damages caused by a 2020 strike.
It’s a pretty sure bet the only reason that an Arbitrator was used was because it’s required by a contract, and required by the hospital. Extremely unlikely the Union would specifically request arbitration rather than a regular trial, they are notorious for siding with big businesses. Also I likely the Union paid for that Arbitrator.
Who the hell sides with HCA instead of nurses when there are complaints about staffing shortages and PPE shortages? Ridiculous.
The Arbitrator almost surely paid by HCA.
No proof of that… yet
