The nurses, members of National Nurses United and the National Nurses Organizing Committee-Florida, claim they have been assigned to other units that are under-staffed without being trained for work in a new specialty, according to the report.

The hospital has not responded to the staffing allegations but has been bargaining with the union since April of this year over a new contract.
