The union representing more than 100 employees at 15 medical offices and an urgent care center is accusing an Auburn Community Hospital-affiliated group of refusing to bargain and bad faith negotiations in charges filed with the National Labor Relations Board.Â
1199SEIU, which represents registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, X-ray technicians, medical assistants and receptionists, filed the charges against Auburn Memorial Medical Services on Monday. Allison Krause, a union spokesperson, told The Citizen that they believe AMMS wants to delay reaching an agreement on a first contract so that they could break the union employees formed in 2018.Â
The union alleges that the attorney representing AMMS, Raymond Pascucci, has repeatedly engaged in negotiations without substantive counter-proposals. Pascucci, the union says, has made a single wage offer and no meaningful movement on several mandatory issues of bargaining in the last six months. Â
