The Alaska State Employees Association has filed paperwork to halt the privatization of the state's main psychiatric hospital. The privatization was a result of a merger and would result in a potential loss of over 200 jobs. The union representative claims there may have been a breach of labor laws as the employer did not give employees a chance to show that the can do the job for cheaper. Arguments will be heard next week.
