AFSCME is having a campaign to organize Resurrection Hospital System. They have gone after other hospitals in the group and now St. Francis is the target. They have tried to organize the system for the last six years and in their multiple attempts they have failed to even get the 30% of cards signed to have an election.

They are running a series of misleading ads which I think are disgusting and a disservice to a good neighbor.

They want the system organized because there are 11,000 employees and they want the dues. As with other unions, they have sunk a ton of money into political campaigns and they need the money.

Their failed attempts would indicate that the employees are happy with their situation and don't see the need to reduce their pay by having union dues deducted.

I wonder why they have not gone after North Shore/Evanston?

St. Francis has been a good neighbor, free parking, use of facilities for community meetings, etc., and for a while they were the only Level 1 Trauma center.

Any thoughts on how we can help St. Francis?
