DES MOINES, Iowa \u2014<\/p>\n
The Teamsters Local 90 announced that UnityPoint Des Moines nurses voted to unionize, but UnityPoint Health disputes the election results, citing serious objections that require further review. <\/p>\n
On its website and social media, the union stated, “It’s official: we won! As of July 30 the NLRB just confirmed it, UnityPoint Des Moines nurses voted union.”<\/p>\n
Video from a nurses’ rally in June highlights the ongoing efforts to unionize. Last week, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders sent a letter to UnityPoint<\/a> urging the health care provider to recognize the Iowa nurses who voted to unionize last year. Sanders accused UnityPoint of “illegal union-busting tactics.” <\/p>\n In response, UnityPoint Health issued a statement saying, “The National Labor Relations Board has not decided the outcome of the election. The NLRB determined that UnityPoint Health raised serious objections that require a hearing, which is scheduled to begin August 26.” <\/p>\n KCCI has reached out to the National Labor Relations Board and is awaiting a response.<\/p>\n \u00bb Subscribe to KCCI’s YouTube page<\/a><\/p>\n \u00bb Download the free KCCI app to get updates on the go: Apple<\/a> | Google Play<\/a><\/p>\n WATCH: Bernie Sanders calls on UnityPoint Health to recognize nurses’ union vote<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"UnityPoint nurses’ union vote faces objections from health care provider The Teamsters Local 90 announced UnityPoint Des Moines…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":796072,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[337897,138435,97,252,39410,253,108859,18293,46266,99132,171521,22385,14848,337896,222521,337898,337899,65214],"class_list":["post-796071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health-care","tag-des-moines-nurse","tag-election-result","tag-health","tag-health-care","tag-health-care-provider","tag-healthcare","tag-kcci","tag-last-year","tag-national-labor-relations-board","tag-nlrb","tag-objection","tag-rally","tag-response","tag-union-vote","tag-unitypoint","tag-unitypoint-nurse","tag-vermont-sen-bernie-sanders","tag-youtube-page"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=796071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/796071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/796072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=796071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=796071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=796071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
