PORTLAND, Maine — Maine’s Democratic legislative leaders wrote to Maine Medical Center (MMC) this weekend admonishing administration and “anti-union consultants” for allegedly strong-arming its nurses into voting down a proposed union.
The letter, from Senate President Troy Jackson and Speaker of the House Ryan Fecteau, along with 75 other Senate and House members, asked the hospital to “fire the consultants and respect RNs federally-protected right to organize.”
