Nurses at a Pittsburgh hospital are moving ahead with a long-awaited union election despite recent delays at the federal labor board. Nearly 1,000 registered nurses at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital will vote between August 19 and 23 on whether to join SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania. The campaign has sparked both hospital pushback and community backing, with Allegheny County launching a tool for reporting potential union-busting. The outcome will test how much power regional NLRB offices retain to protect organizing efforts even as the national board remains weakened.
