An NLRB decision on Tuesday concluded that Cayuga Medical Center retaliated against two nurses in 2016 after they started an organizing drive. The nurses, Anne Marshall and Loran Lamb, were illegally fired after engaging in union organizing activity at the hospital. According to the decision, management subjected Lamb to threats she was prohibited from taking part in any kind of union activities. Marshall was demoted from her position and also suspended for her activities. According to CMC, the nurses were suspended due to failure to follow protocol, but coworkers testified that both did their jobs correctly.
