Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) released the following statement in support of nurses and advanced practice professionals fighting for their right to unionize at UPMC Magee-Womens Hospital:
“I’m proud to stand with the nurses at Magee-Womens Hospital who are fighting for the union way of life. The decision to form a union is sacred and should be made by the nurses alone – full stop.
“Any attempt to deny, delay, or disrupt the election process needs to be called out for what it is: a waste of resources that will put additional stress on an already overburdened workforce and distract from the delivery of essential patient care.
“Across Pennsylvania, our nurses and advanced practice professionals are on the front lines keeping our communities healthy and safe – you deserve to finally be heard. Keep standing up and know I’m standing with you all.”
