The International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local Union 30 has filed a petition with the National Labor Relations Board to become the union representation for a group of workers at Allegheny Health Network’s United Physicians’ office in New Kensington, Pa.
The petition, filed June 16, requests an election to determine whether about a dozen nurses, health coaches and others at the clinic seek to unionize.
Becker’s reached out to the union and will update the story if a comment is received.
AHN shared the following statement with Becker’s:
“We strongly believe that effective labor-management relations can be achieved without the influence of a third party but also respect the right of employees to consider or seek representation if they feel it’s in their best interests.”
Allegheny Health Network is a Pittsburgh-based system with 14 hospitals, 22,000 employees and more than 250 care locations.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
