Maine Medical, where the nurses support unionization, is the state s largest hospital.
PORTLAND, Maine By a 1,001-750 margin, registered nurses at Maine’s biggest hospital complex voted to unionize with National Nurses United.
The win, NNU’s largest victory in the Northeast in years, follows NNU’s big win last year at the largest hospital complex in Western North Carolina, in Ashville. That hospital employs 1,600 RNs. Some 2,000 work at Maine Medical Center in Portland and satellite complexes.
NNU said hospital management “chose not to challenge results,” but the
Bangor Daily News said center management “had no immediate comment.” The hospital had hired a notorious union-busting consultant to try to beat NNU. The attempt failed.
