MARQUETTE Ancillary staff at UP Health System – Marquette have filed to form a union with the Michigan Nurses Association, the MNA announced Monday.
A supermajority of UPHS-Marquette ancillary staff filed paperwork with the National Labor Relations Board on April 26 to have an election to form a union with the MNA, according to an MNA news release.
“Should the unionization effort be successful, it would be one of the largest groups of health care workers to win a union through the NLRB since the start of the pandemic,” the release states.
If the plan comes to fruition, ancillary staff would be joining over 300 UPHS-Marquette nurses who are currently MNA members.
