The unions have said the hospital is “putting its profit margin first” instead of patient care, according to the report. Last week, L+M officials pointed to reduced Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements as the reason the layoffs were made.

Of the 33 employees notified of layoffs last week, 11 were union members.
